Windows version is Win10 1607, freshly installed (via USB in UEFI mode) and all patched up. Samsungs NVMe driver is installed. Did not configure anything in that regard. Booting in UEFI mode. I guess I re-check any boot related settings then. @wardog: So the manual says that A2 and B2 should be populated first. May have to test when I have the time for disassembling. Are the voltages on VCCIO and VCCSA good or to high/low? CPU temps are good so far. Regards, dNhax.

Windows 10 installation "... all patched up."?  Please explain all patched up.

If you did not configure anything in the UEFI in regards to UEFI booting when you installed Windows, or afterwards, then you are not booting in UEFI mode.

Otherwise, explain how you installed in UEFI mode, and are booting in UEFI mode? What is the entry in the boot order for your 960 EVO?

Forgot to tell you to try the A1 and B1 slots, when using 8GB or larger DIMMs.
