PCI SSD trouble


As far as I know the PCI lanes are towards the latter stage of the boot process, this may be the reason? Sounds like your system is panicking when it can't find your OS as quickly as it thinks it should and switches to the bios. Not aware of a solution though

EDIT:
Forum is ASRock specific but I imagine most of the principles are transferable. Hope it helps

I appear to have figured it out.

The intel documentation recommends setting the CSM (compatibility support module) to allow booting from NVME / PCIE in windows 7.  however the MSI gaming 5 bios has no CSM.

Under the "advanced" section in the bios, there's a sub group called Intel Ready boost or some such.  Once enabled a number of other options appear, including the ability to set boot from IDE to AHCI, allowing booting from NVME and changing default boot to PCI-E first.

I don't know why it's buried under some obscure section instead of in a CSM as notated in the intel installation guide.

Using these settings I was able to get it to cold boot into both windows 10 and windows 7 with GPT format.  I'm using it with windows 7 now and it has been stable all day through countless reboots and several shutdowns / startups.

Booting time has improved dramatically as well.

Change the cables round that worked for me. On my asus board I picked the ssd as the boot drive with raid off

Don't think there are cables with a PCIe drive

That's for SATA

Different kettle of fish with M.2 and PCIe
