I recently purchased an intel 600p 512 to use in my computer.
motherboard: GA-Z170XP-SLI
The bios has been flashed to the most recent version, but the bios only seems to recognize a device named SM2260 with ~1gb storage.
when I try to install windows or load windows on an existing drive, i get a bluescreen saying "Bad Pool Header"
I have tried removing all sata cables, removing the graphics card, changing between RAID and not, using UEFI and legacy, Enabling and disabling CSM, swapping between win8/10 support and not, and dozens of other options.
all i ever see under NVMe devices is SM2260, offboard pcie devices shows none.
I have ordered the Asus HYPER m.2x4 MINI in hope it is my motherboard slot, but am thinking it is the memory card. any advice?
thanks,
Brian
