M2 slot 1 isn't functioning properly and the HDD isn't receiving power on the new motherboard.
I just purchased an MSI MGP B550 gaming plus to go with a Ryzen 7 5800X. I also bought a new power supply, the MSI Mag 750W. There was an issue when I installed my M.2 SSD in slot 1 with the lighting Gen 2—my PC didn’t boot at all. When I switched it to slot 2, everything worked fine. Additionally, I’m having trouble getting any HDD to start up. I currently have one M.2 SSD and a 2.5 SSD, both functioning properly, but neither powers on. Could it be the wrong cables or a problem with the motherboard?
Are you referring to PCIe 4.0? Also, did the computer fail to start with the M.2 SSD in slot 1 NVMe, or was it simply unable to recognize it? Ensure power cables are securely attached to both the drive and your power supply to confirm all connectors are properly seated.
The NVMe port appears to indicate a hardware issue. With the HDD, certain motherboards may turn off SATA connections when an M.2 SSD is present. Consider using another SATA port for the HDD.
