1.2 TB Intel SSD 750 Series trouble

[BHalt1]

My PC has been operating properly now for several months with no issues. However, all of a sudden now my motherboard seemingly does not find the Intel 750 SSD on a cold boot. Strangely enough when I remove the SSD from the PCIe slot and place it back, the computer boots into windows (installed on the Intel 750 SSD). This happens every time. In fact, if I let the PC go to sleep, it happens then too. I am wondering if there is something wrong with the SSD? I have gone through and checked/updated all drivers for the SSD and the computer/operating system/SSD seem to work just fine once I remove the SSD and replace it then boot... This is very strange and I am completely lost here. Again, I have only had the hard drive for a few months and I love it, but I need to find out what is causing this issue. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello christianklein & Amiralsed,

Have you tried the suggestions provided already?

This situation seems to be related to a timing problem, so disabling fast boot (On BIOS) or under Windows* (Control Panel > Power Options > "Choose what the power buttons do" > "Change settings that are currently unavailable." > Under "Shutdown settings", uncheck "Turn on fast startup") will help on the resolution of this.

Also please let us know the BIOS is updated and make sure to have the latest NVMe* drivers installed, https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26451/Intel-SSD-Data-Center-Family-for-NVMe-Drivers found in this link.

We will be waiting for your responses.

Regards,

Hi Christianklein,

Thanks for your response. Since your SSD is no longer able to boot up the OS, can you confirm if the BIOS option for "fast boot" is disabled?We also have another /thread/109524 thread about this same situation, so we will be using this one only, for your reference.In your case, since the drive is no longer detected by the BIOS, do you by any chance have any other U.2 SSD to try? Or, do you have any other system where to test this SSD?What happens if you unplug the SSD and put it back in and power on the system? (Let us know if it recognizes again)Have you tried to power cycle your computer? (Power off the system, unplug the power cable and press + hold the power button for at least 20 seconds).We will be waiting for your response.Regards,NC

Yep, Fast Boot is disabled.

No I don't have another $800.00 drive just sitting around.

No I don't have another $400.00 mother board just sitting around.

I've tried:

Reloading BIOS

Resitting CMOS

New power cable to ssd

Pulling the GPU

Diskpart, did not see the drive

Unplugging the power cord for 10 min

Power cycle the computer

I've even tried fairy dust.
