M.2 device fails to be detected in MSI Bios 5 and freezing occurs with horizontal lines displayed.
The SSD wasn’t installed during the Windows setup on the M.2 drive. It was only connected again after updating drivers. During a restart, I entered BIOS and Windows failed to load, so I plugged in the SSD to test. That’s when it worked and displayed a prompt about which volume to boot from. Does that clarify?
it doesn't seem to be an NVMe problem. then, if it struggles to install correctly, CSM or legacy settings might require a MBR formatted drive. Windows 11 only supports UEFI and GPT formatted drives. Turn off CSM and use DiskPart to verify the drive type—MBR or GPT—before beginning the installation.
Good news. Windows was set up properly this time, but I’m still facing unexpected crashes with changes in the original content. Here’s an example: the size, design, and colors shift each time. This might occur while browsing text sites or other non-gaming activities. The M.2 drive is located at the bottom slot, not the top one managed by the CPU. Would this suggest a faulty SSD or problems with the CPU, mounting pressure on the cooler, or the motherboard? I’m not noticing any critical events in the event viewer log before I force shut down and restart the system. No BSOD errors or similar issues.
You may have to restart the entire M.2 drive. I encountered a peculiar driver issue with Win 10 that was removed and never used again last year. It caused basic file deletions to fail, even affecting simple operations. The storage table got corrupted. I missed the correct command line, but you absolutely need to get it right this time.
Diskpart performs a deep low-level format. You can utilize a third-party tool to open DiskPart. In the Windows search, type cmd, right-click it, and select run as administrator. Press Enter. Choose the disk, then apply the clean all command. This method works on a bootable USB drive.
