Please confirm Motherboard B150M-D3H and m.2 SSD compatibility

[gigset]

Can anyone confirm that Motherboard B150M-D3H (rev. 1) works with Windows 7 or 8.1 operating system installed to m.2 SSD?
Testing now with ADATA SP900NS38 M.2 2280 256GB and Samsung SSD 850 EVO 256GB m.2.
No overclocking - BIOS defaults mostly.

I have tried fresh installations from original MS DVD UEFI and Legacy, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 but always I get BSOD in 20-60 minutes. After soft restart BIOS can't detect m.2 - not present until I switch off / on power, then m.2 SSD is detected again, to open a File manager takes 10 minutes (looks like hanged) and Windows runs for some minutes until BSOD again.
In fact I never could even finish with installation due to BSOD's.
I have updated BIOS to F5 and aftewards to Beta F6d but not much change.
BSOD comes all last drivers installed or no drivers installed.
There is no info in memory dump nor in event viewer.

I have tested mobo with ordinary HDD Seagate and no errors, everything works like a charm.

Greetings,
The board supports:
•PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Connector with up to 32Gb/s Data Transfer (PCIe NVMe & SATA SSD support)

Which covers anything X2, X4 NVMe currently available. 

What's the specific BSOD error.  (we understand you don't see it in system event viewer), but what's the screen say?  You may need to disable automatic restart after failure to read it.

BSOD stop: 0x000000F4
Crash dump doesn't contain any info about conflicting device/driver.

Mem86+ test passed and there is no boot/system problem with HDD on SATA port.
CPU is i5-6500

No overclocking

Please add to the list of failing devices also Crucial m.2 SSD.

I posted the question partly because there is a Beta BIOS upgrade F6d specially "improving m.2 SSD compatibility".
Obviously there is a known problem and I'm facing it right now.

Anyone can confirm ?

All you can do is try it. Plus if you do it. Don't do what 90% do and just reboot the computer. Shut it down and pull the battery and jump out the cmos pins. Wait a few mins. Then put everything back boot and load default setting. Then go back in and set everything backup.

How to fix was not intention of this thread because I believe I have already checked everything and I hope to receive confirmation that problem is still on BIOS.

BTW. One of the important symptoms not mentioned so far is that after each BSOD BIOS can't detect m.2 SSD device and there is error "no boot device". It's recovered powering PC off and on. Then starting Windows is possible again until next BSOD. It may be hardware failure but somehow feels like UEFI BIOS bug.

If the behavior is being experienced across multiple devices, the nothing is damaged, its probably related to the BIOS, but don't discount dmdilks advice.  Please do perform a battery pull and starting from scratch and make your BIOS settings again.

I did CMOS restart shorting pins and removing batteries.
No change.
As all 3 previously mentioned m.2 SSD had SATA interface so today I checked PCIe Samsung 950 NVMe 256GB device.

It really was tricky to install Windows to this NVMe but I was lucky and managed in 3 hours, when in forums people have spent days or even weeks.

But end is short after W7 SP1 64 bit installation I was able to install Intel Chipset inf drivers, did a reboot and started installation of onboard graphics, when system hanged. After restart m.2 SSD was in found in BIOS but still there was error "insert Boot Media ...." but later after next restart was again lost from BIOS and restored after power off/on ...
Definitely I'm going to RMA this board now.

Confirmed. Motherboard was faulty.
Motherboard was changed to new one and all named m.2 devices behave normally with BIOS F5. UEFI or Legacy Windows 7. So far not any BIOS upgrade required.

Understand that this is a user to user forum. They is just a hand full us trying to help people the best we can. Yes we might not be right all the time but we try to help. I'm sorry that you are having a problem but this isn't really support.

All I can say is email or call support to see if they can help. Plus if there is nobody that has run into this problem you more likely will not get answer here sorry. The only other thing is there a firmware update for the M2 ssd.

Plus other people have had to us the Intel SATA Preinstall driver. With some if these drivers to install windows. Plus if you are installing using UEFI it does put a boot manager into the bios.
