Booting Windows 7 from an NVMe SSD is unusual, but possible if the Windows 7 installation files are fixed (location of the EFI bootloader folder.)
Have you done any configuration of the CSM option in the UEFI? That is normally required when using an NVMe SSD as the OS/boot drive.
Did you install Windows 7 with only the 950 Pro in the PC?
Sounds like there could be a problem here, I just want some more information.
What "own answer" did you find?

Here is my configuration: Asrock X99-Extreme 6 Samsung SSD 950 Pro NVME in the M.2 slot (Boot device) Samsung XP941 M.2 SSD mounted on a Addonics PCI-E to M.2 adapter Intel 5820 CPU Windows 7x64 or Debian Linux (Dual boot using GRUB2) What happens is the when both the NVME and XP941 are installed and the BIOS is at v3.XX the system refuses to boot. Screen goes blank and you need to hard reset. Remove the XP941 and the system boots just fine. Version 2.10 and below work just fine with everything installed. Is Asrock aware of this and if so is there a fix? |
