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.

I am also having this issue.

I thought it may have been my old ivy bridge system so today I purchased a new z270 kaby lake system.

The issue still remains unfortunately.

Carcus85,

Do you have the same motherboard? If so, please try the BIOS updated, http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-DELUXE/Z170-DELUXE-ASUS-3007.zip?_ga=1.162815164.18... here is the link

Let us know the outcome.

I have a GA-Z270X-Gaming K5

It has the latest bios update.

Fast boot is disabled

The same issue was happening on my ivy bridge system so i purchased a brand new kaby lake and it is still the same.

The pcie ssd has the latest firmware also.

It looks like the pcie device doesnt even power up to second boot no lights come on.

As in the previous posts i need to pull out the drive and put it back in for it tonget recognised.

I have also tried it in all pcie 4x compatible slots

Carcus85,

Do you remember any change before this situation started? (Driver, updates, new hardware, etc)

Regards.

I do not recall a change. But it is very strange to me that the M.2 960 Pro works just fine and the Intel 750 does not. I mean, M.2 is using PCIE also isn't it? I really just want my money back... this Intel drive is crap.
