Hi all, I really need some help!

I put together my new PC (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gM2VjX) but am having some issues!

For some reason, the 950 pro isn't being detected by windows, nor my BIOS. I set all the correct settings to M.2 instead of sata, except the boot settings as I can't actually edit them.

I updated my BIOS to the latest version, but still no avail.

I've had to install Windows onto my HDD for now, which is annoying :(.

PLEASE HELP!

Did you plug it in?

 
OK, so I tried to switch from Sata express to m.2 in bios, and when I clicked save and exit my PC just turns off, and tries to restart. After a few secs it just turns off again and repeats until I press and hold the power button. When I rechecked the setting it had gone back to sata express.

nvme drive is definitely inserted correctly? Is this similar? http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2832600/problems-installing-windows-sm951-z170-pro-gaming-mobo.html

I  think it is inserted correctly. I'll take it out and reseat it tomorrow if I have time.

The problem is that my motherboard isn't detecting it. I already updated my bios AND rapid storage technology drivers. As I said before, I switched from Sata express to m.2 in config in bios, but as soon as I click save, my PC powers off and doesn't actually save. I already have windows 10 installed onto the HDD

 
Not all M.2 drives have the NVME spec, I did state that earlier, You may want to check that your m.2 drive is NVME and not sata.

PC part picker said it was fine. I'll check online. The mobo is disabling the first sata port, which is meant to happen if you have an m.2 plugged in

Reading here it looks like you may need to check in the Intel RS/Raid mgmt bios for your m.2/nvme drive? do you see anything there perhaps?

I can't remember if my drives (mechanical) managed by intel raid show up in my bios - ASUS Maximus Ranger VII. In fact, I've never even gotten into the intel raid on that board (array is actually in deep shit atm and needs pulled down), it picked up the config from my old PC.

 
he wont be able to activate it in raid if the pc is freezing on boot.

Oh yeah. @GP. DaanishI'm not too clued in on setting up m.2 nvme drives, but i would imagine that SataExpress wouldnt be the right option if it's not using the sata express port?

If you remove the m.2 drive and set the bios to m.2, does it still do the boot loop?

The PC boots fine, however the problems occur when I try to switch the onboard config to m.2 from sata. It didn't happen before... Perhaps either you or @lionel can help me on TS later

 
Huh.... Doesn't crash when I save for changing other options...

Can probably do all except the stand xD, and I'll try to be on at 7:30 too.

Also, I probably won't be able to unscrew it and re plug it in over skype., I'll see if I can do that before hand.

EDIT: Ok, turns out I have a lot more work to do than intended, so tonight isn't really a good night to do this. Can we reschedule for later this week, or if not the weekend?
