M.2 device not detected in BIOS settings
M.2 device not detected in BIOS settings
I've got an Asus Tuf Gaming X570-Plus. I just updated the BIOS yesterday and everything seemed normal this morning until a few hours later when my Word document stopped working. It didn’t close or restart itself, so I pressed the power button to turn it off. When I opened Microsoft Edge, the whole system slowed down a lot, which led me to restart again. At that point, the yellow DRAM light appeared. The BIOS displayed the DOCP profile I had set for my RAM to run at 3000 MHz, showing a voltage of 1.35V, which seemed to block it from loading. I removed the CMOS battery to reset the motherboard, but once BIOS was back up, neither the M.2 slot nor the SATA hard drive appeared in boot priority. After some troubleshooting, I found the hard drive with CMS, but the NVMe device still didn’t show up and had Windows downloads instead. Did something go wrong? Thanks for any help!
This situation might resemble issues Windows faced with new data. SATA was an extension that sometimes caused problems if the BIOS wasn't set up properly. It's similar to a glitch, indicating potential BIOS issues. Likely it's not a major problem.
I was thinking about this as a no visible M.2 in BIOS, but it looks like something else entirely. It seems the issue might not be with the BIOS itself. Restarting with just the M.2 drive could help—maybe that’s the solution. The BIOS flashing could be causing the problem, or it might not, and I’d avoid flashing unless necessary. If this isn’t a RAM issue, the next step would be testing the RAM.
