The M.2 NVMe SSD vanishes when the graphics card is plugged in.
I recently purchased an HP EX920 512gb M.2 NVMe along with a MSI Z390-A Pro motherboard. Everything functions smoothly, I installed Windows 10 on the SSD without any problems (no other drives connected). However, when I power off the PC, the drive vanishes until I physically disconnect and reconnect it. It doesn’t appear in the BIOS either—no data loss, just an absence. I’ve identified the issue as occurring only when the GPU is connected. The SSD appears immediately after removing the GPU, too. It’s an Nvidia GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM. I’ve used this card for about two years without issues. Could this be related to both devices sharing a port? I’ve tried moving the GPU to another PCIe slot and still faced the same problem.
