Subject: UNCLE! Samsung 960 EVO M.2 on X99 Extreme3

I am about to give up on trying to get my X99 Extreme3 to recognize the 500GB M.2 drive...
My configuration:
Windows 10
X99 Extreme3 - latest bios
I-7 5820
32GB RAM Quad Channel
MSI R9-290 Gaming (currently in slot 3)
Asus wireless networking card in slot 2
At one point the bios recognized the drive, but ever since then no dice. I have read through all the sticky posts and tried various things, including moving my graphics card to slot 3. (I prefer to leave it in slot 3 so it is not on top of the M.2 drive.) There is nothing connected SSATA3_2 and it is set to "SSD" in bios.
Regardless of what I try and do in the bios settings, including removing all the other drives and booting from a Windows ISO on a USB drive, I can't get visibility to the drive. Any suggestions on bios config to try before I return the drive? I have this feeling I am missing something.
Thanks,
Kurt
