M.2 950 Pro
Hi all,
(Aurora R5, Gtx 1070, i7-6700, 64gb ram, 1tb hdd)
I recently purchased a 512Gb SSD from samsung, and I am having a few problems.
When I power on my PC without the SSD installed, my PC loads windows/bios with no problems.
As soon as I install the 950, and power on the PC, it shows the alienware logo, and the blue bar at the bottom of the screen fills up rather quickly. It then stays on this screen, and will not boot windows or Bios.
Any help is appreciated. My end goal is to load win 10 onto the SSD and use the 1tb as just storage.
No Events found!

Hi,
Unfortunately that SSD is not compatible with this model. If you need something else, let me know!

Urstin, which adapter model did you buy for the Aurora R5? Is it performing and booting from the 950 Pro ok so far? Thanks a lot.
