SSD shows up at first but after a restart it dissappears?
I just got a Samsung 970 evo 250gb ssd to put windows and a few games on. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3 so it did not have a m.2 slot so I am using a m.2 to pcie adapter. At first right after plugging it in and starting up, windows recognizes it just fine but after a restarting multiple times windows does not show it again. The only way I can get windows to show it is to remove the adapter and re plug it into the motherboard. Obviously this is not ideal and I'd like to know if any of you have any ideas of the problem. The adapter - https://www.amazon.com/Lycom-DT-120-PCIe-Adapter-Suppor... -
Side note neither of the 2 metal brackets fit my case but the adapter is still pretty tightly plugged in so that shouldn't matter.
-Also the ssd is warm to the touch so it is being used even when windows refuses to show it

It may be caused by poor contact or incompatibility of the pcie adapter.
