When I install my Samsung 990 Pro SSD into my M.2_2 slot It's recognised by my BIOS but when I go to "Computer Management" and initialise the disk then add a volume, it disappears and goes offline shortly after making it. When putting it into the M.2_1 slot It just isn't recognised at all by the BIOS.

Regardless, the SSD seems to be fully responsive, I can even change the LED from the Samsung Magician app, all tests on the disk seem to be up fine.

Here are the things I have tried:
  • Using the Samsung app to check the health of the drive (all tests say it's fine)

  • Updating all drivers and updating the BIOS

  • Returning the SSD and buying a new one (same issues)

  • Using "diskpart"  to online the disk

  • Creating a simple GPT volume (deletes after a few moments)

  • Trying a different M.2 slot

and many more...

My PC specs:
  • MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus Motherboard ATX

  • Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 EAGLE OC ICE 8GB

  • Ryzen 7 5700G

  • 32GB DDR4

  • 750W PSU
