Asus Tuf Gaming X570plus with SSD issues and inability to start.
You're experiencing a strange behavior where installing a specific drive in the second M.2 slot triggers a freeze to the BIOS splash screen and prevents booting. The issue seems tied to the order of drives, not just speed or voltage. It might help to verify that the drive you're inserting is indeed the correct one (Ryzen5 3600X, 4x8G Corsair Vengeance RGBPro DDR4) and that the BIOS settings are set up properly for your hardware. Try removing the SATA drives temporarily to rule out conflicts there. If the problem persists after that, consider checking the M.2 slot connections or consulting Asus support for potential firmware issues. Before giving up, ensure your system is powered on correctly and that no other hardware is interfering.
A very good question - I can't remember when I last updated it.... back in a minute.
New updates are in! The system is now operational. Appreciate your input.
