M.2 SSD not recognized after reboot?

Good morning,

I installed an M.2 SSD in my new computer. It worked fine for about a day and a half. But then I had to restart the PC for an installation, and then it only booted into the BIOS and no longer into Windows. Then, when I tried to reinstall Windows, I realized that the SSD was no longer recognized by the BIOS at all.

Now, of course, I want the SSD to work again so I can continue working. I've already tried a lot of things (reinstalling and removing the SSD, etc.)

Does anyone have a suggested solution? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that’s what happened to me, but it came back later, and I don’t know why that happened.

You can try to turn off the PC completely and then reset the UEFI or start the PC without SSD and afterwards.

Plug your PC completely, press the Power button to consume the last power, then beside the Bios Battery two pins that you can simply short-circuit with nem screwdriver, that is, you should simply bring the two pins into contact with the screwdriver for 5 seconds to make sure and that should reset the Uefi.

Or you remove the battery for a few minutes and re-enter it, that also resets the UEFI.

If you have a Windows bootstick you can open with Shift + F10 CMD and enter “diskpart” and with the “list disk” command you can see if your SSD is detected.

You also need to make sure that the SSD is not detected in the UEFI, just because Windows does not start it does not mean that the SSD is not recognized, after a failed update, for example, the boot partition or the files in it can be faulty which leads to a non-start

But first you have to make sure oh the SSD is really broken, maybe the motherboard is the problem, otherwise you buy a new SSD for free

Did you put on other storage media? If so try to put everyone out and only with the M.2

Of course, that the SSD is actually broken or that is not sitting properly inside, but I also have more solution suggestions, you can test the ssd in nem other PC as the last option but otherwise kp

Google simple: motherboard brand e.g. Msi Boot menu key, then spamme the button simply during the start, with me it is e.g. f11 or remove
