Boot drive vanishes on X570 system
Boot drive vanishes on X570 system
Two days prior, after installing and configuring the new PC, everything functioned properly. After shutting it down, I restarted and found no boot drive detected—specifically a Samsung 970 EVO M.2. However, my 960 appeared in the boot options. I reinstalled Windows to that drive, and everything worked until this morning. Now, when I select the proper boot drive again, the 970 shows up in BIOS but not the 960. Assistance needed for X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi Ryzen 9 3900x 32th residents z Neo 3600.
Potential ideas I have at a casual level: It might involve a BIOS setting where devices are marked as bootable or not. Could relate to SATA/M.2 PCIe lane sharing, or possibly a hardware problem.
I identified the problem—low-power supply wasn’t delivering enough. Removing the storage HDD resolved it, so I went ahead and purchased a more powerful 850W unit.
I received the sapphire nitro+ 5700xt. Running a Corsair RMA 650 is fine; it’s not a bad PSU. I have an AIO and a couple of case fans. There are two SSDs and an NVMe drive. They suggested 600W for this model, but I assumed the 650 would suffice. Perhaps using separate data cables would help. All my drives and fans were on one cable.
It could work if it had sufficient strength without relying on the result.
