Hi to all,
My 970 extreme 3 motherboard refuses to recognise or run my samsung 840 ssd. Here's a list of what i've done:
1: Firstly new samsung 840 series 250gb ssd works 100% in an old laptop i have, which had windows vista previously installed on it. I have also used this laptop to update the firmware on the ssd and put windows 7 on there, so before we start the ssd is NOT the problem.
2: Reset CMOS
2: Motherboard bios is the current one (1.70) I have also reflashed this bios to see but it made no difference.
3: Set AHCI in windows. then set bios to AHCI.
4: Put in ide mode but still doesn't detect ssd.
Now when i put bios into AMD AHCI BIOS Rom (which is the only way i can ever get to see the ssd drive), the samsung ssd shows up but says HDD Smart Drive Error but like i stated earlier the ssd works perfectly in an old laptop i have.
I've tried plugging into various sata ports, tried it in all my drive bays but for some reason it's saying my ssd has a smart fault which clearly it hasn't. All drivers/updates etc are all up to date. I've had my ssd for a month now and i'm just completely baffled of what to do next, so i'd appreciate any help and thanks in advance.
