So I building a new computer after about 5-6 years. I see there are lots of new developments out there. In particular, I was really excited about the m.2 NVMe ssds on the market.
So, I bought these components:
Gigabyte H170 LGA 1151 Gamer 3 motherboard (Rev. 1)
Intel i7-6700 chip
32gb ddr4 G.skill NT series (F4-2133C15D-16GNT)
Samsung 950 Pro 512mb M.2 NVMe PCIE SSD
(3) HGST ultrastar 4tb hard drives (2 in raid 1) (1 as backup)....
EVGA GTX 960 4gb (stock speed version)
seasonic 500w fanless power supply.
I want a stable, reliable and fast system. I don't overclock. I do some video editing, use the computer to watch lots of streaming content. File storage, etc. I will play some games, but not heavy gamer, connecting to a 4K LCD (sort of a HTPC setup).
So, now that is out of the way, here is my problem:
Before installing my M.2 NVME drive, with BIOS revision 1, the BIOS detected all of the legacy harddrives. It also detected CPU and memory without issue.
So, I updated the bios to rev. 5 using qflash, and then connected my M.2 drive.
Now in bios, none of my harddrives are detected. My three legacy drives, which were previously detected by manufacturer, model number and size, were not showing, and my 512mb SSD was not showing either. Even after loading optimized defaults....
Any ideas on what is going on? Should I revert back to a lower BIOS?
I understand the 950pro is sort of backwards compatible with legacy type protocols.
Could there be some weird conflict with a legacy vs. UFEI setting somewhere? I can't seem to find it and would assume loading optimized defaults would get rid of this issue....
