Morning all, I purchased a 2tb firecuda 530 from OC back in June last year to put in my new system, slot m2 1 gen 5. I also installed my old 970 evo in another slot. When setting up windows in the new build I could not get it to boot from the firecuda but the 970 worked.The firecuda works in windows as it should. I assumed perhaps there was a setting in the bios to correct this inability because the slot itself used different pcie lanes etc plus the faf removing the gpu, heatsinks etc. So I just left as is and used the pc as normal. forgot all about it.
So this weekend I wanted to set up dual booting. After trying to install windows again on this drive it's the same issue, then I remembered the initial problem last year. So after more faffing around with the bios I finally give up and removed all the obstacles and switch ssd's and the 970 installs fine in slot m2 1. So for some reason booting from firecuda is not possible.
What are my options with returns or fix? Thanks.
