Q: 4. Bought a new Dell 8930 at the same time I purchased this I put a Samsung 970 EVO M.2. SSD in and installed it in a PCIEx4 slot. I can see and use the card but the Dell will not do a "Restart" I have to do a shut down and then cold boot to get the computer to work. If I just hit a restart (in a software upgrade for example) the Dell will not do the restart it freezes with no video and I have to do a hard shut down and a cold boot. I worked with Dell for days on the problem, I"ve talked with Samsung and with StarTech. If I pull the adapter with the drive the computer works perfect so it is something with the combination of the card and the SSD in the PCIE slot. Windows 10 pro is Up To Date, All Drivers are up to date and everything works except when I need to do a "Restart" it is a real pain when I have to do a major update I need to pull the card or the update does not get done. Does anyone else have the same Problem?
