Do you mean it isn't showing up in My Computer or it even isn't recognized in BIOS?

Both but it’s receiving power

If it's not recognized by the MB, then it's likely there is a fault with the SSD. Try to resit it.

Faulty hardware doesn't mean it has to blow up in smoke and flame first.

The problem could be with mb too if you have another m.2 slot try it, also check if that mb has new bios update .

Check for BIOS update. Load optimized defaults and reboot BIOS.

Check your motherboard booklet to see if M2 isn't conflict with your SATA hard drive.
