I'm kind of hesitant to mess too much with BIOS because it can have unintended side effects I'd prefer ruling other things out first if possible.
I have done that and updated my SSD's firmware.

I'm not sure what you mean by this or how to tell it sorry
>Lastly, are you booting as EFI or BIOS?
Not sure. I see a couple options on my gigabyte h170 motherboard
Other PCI devices: This is set to UEFI
Storage Boot option control: Set to legacy
