Hello,
I just bought a M2 ssd and install on my motherboard but it doesn't work.
My motherboard is ECS Z97-MACHINE on latest BIOS.
When m2 is inserted to the board, PC stucks at logo screen (American Megatrends) and can't even enter bios setting. The LED on the mainboard shows code A0.
When I remove the ssd, PC can boot normally and I can enter bios.
Not sure if this is because I updated bios. At first when I installed the ssd I can enter the bios normally and boot to windows on my old HDD. Then I tried to install windows 10 on the new ssd but it does not appear in the bios and cannot boot from my ssd. Then I decided to update the bios to the latest version and now can't even enter the bios unless the ssd isn't inserted to the board.
Any ideas how can I resolve this. At least I can boot from my HDD and use SSD as a storage for gaming ?
Edit 1: Took out the M2 SSD Sata from my cousin laptop and plugged into my mainboard. It works. Window 10 bootable from the m2 slot. But not sure why the PCIe m2 ssd can't be detected in bios and cannot boot.
