Hello! I understand your situation. You're experiencing an issue with the Samsung 980 M.2 SSD not being recognized as the primary boot device after installing it on your PC. You've verified the BIOS settings and ensured all drives appear correctly, but Windows still can't boot from it. Have you considered checking the SSD's compatibility with your system version or trying a different boot order? Also, ensure the battery on the motherboard is properly seated and not causing interference. If none of these help, you might want to consult a professional technician for further diagnosis.

The PC restarts normally after removing the new SSD. It’s possible the SSD is damaged.

Another update, I almost missed that my boot drive is a SATA SSD Samsung 850. It looks like it gets disabled when I add the M.2, so I need to figure out a workaround, probably.

The problem was resolved by relocating another SSD from SATA port 6 to port 4, allowing the M.2 slot to share lanes properly.
