Hey there. I recently enhanced my PC by installing an additional NVMe drive, but I've faced some booting problems. I added another 1TB AData SX8200 Pro drive and updated my system profile. My PC specs are set in the settings. It resets several times before it boots correctly. Once it does start, performance matches expectations and everything functions normally after a successful Windows login. I’m checking the LED display error codes on the motherboard and noticed the C4 code repeatedly before other messages appear quickly. I’ve booted the screen a few times but still can’t reach the login until after a few restarts. The manual mentions C0 to CF codes are marked as "reserved." I plan to record the error codes in a video once I’m back home from work, hoping someone with experience can help.

Yes, it functions properly without the drive.

He did that earlier. I plan to delete it later.

Your motherboard features three M.2 slots, yet only two are designated for M.2 drives. Did you opt for the lower ones? Could be a simple mistake but it’s worth verifying.

I'm referencing the first two options, which match the PCIe x4 specifications mentioned in the motherboard manual—specifically M2M and M2A. The lower unit is PCIe x2 (M2P).

Got back from work today and it won't boot at all. Removing the new drive fixes the issue. Updated bios but it still won't boot with the new drive its slot. Here's a video of what it cycles when it tries to boot. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BHCETXL...p=drivesdk EDIT: It eventually boots after a few power cycles (on its own), using the backup BIOS (version F6).
