I just put together a new rig, using a Gigabyte z170-HD3 and a Samsung SM951 as the SDD. It is a PCI-E SSD using AHCI protocol.
Initially all was good but somewhere as I installed rivers, something has gone wrong.
If I do a cold boot, I see the POST screen but it does not appear to pass over to the SSD and the system hangs with no screen for a few minutes. It then auto reboots and works fine.
If I do a system restart, the boot up works fine every time.
I have systematically removed all the drivers I had installed, and have reset CMOS but I still have the problem.
Any clues where I should be looking?
I have disabled/removed all power saving stuff I can find.
