Device not recognized in system.
I have these specifications confirmed – it’s an older model, but that’s what I got. I installed the Mobo drive and noticed it wasn’t showing up at all in the BIOS. The old NVMe in slot A is functioning properly and has been doing so for over a year. The new NVMe in slot B isn’t detected at all, even after trying to swap them or removing the drives. I’ve checked BIOS settings like AHCI, CMS, Fast Boot, and looked up online solutions, but nothing works. I thought the issue might be with the SATA port since I have multiple drives connected, so I left one SATA plugged in for the OS drive. It still works fine there. The GPU also boots without any problems. The drive is getting power in slot B after installation and warms up slightly, yet it still doesn’t appear. I’m confused because no other drive has ever failed in that slot before, and it’s not the one I left plugged in. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this or if there’s a hardware limitation with my older motherboard and CPU?
I verified my issue using BING COPILOT for thoroughness. Check SSD compatibility: confirm your SSD works with your motherboard. Enable NVMe: ensure NVMe is activated in BIOS. Disable CSM and Secure Boot: adjust boot settings to Windows 8/10. Update BIOS and drivers: keep your system and all relevant drivers current.
Your board accommodates NVMe in both ports. Adjustments are needed to enable AHCI mode in BIOS; it may not recognize SATA SSD configurations. Older models often default to SATA SSD settings.
I managed to get it running, but I'm not sure about the details. I turned off the CSM and secure boot area, yet it didn't work. The only options I found in the BIOS were limited. After waiting five minutes without adjusting any settings and just browsing through, I tried restarting because nothing appeared. Thank you all for your assistance now—I just need to locate a NAS box to install the HDDs since four or six SATA ports are disabled.
