Random boot issue occurs when the NVMe drive isn't listed in the BIOS.
Random boot issue occurs when the NVMe drive isn't listed in the BIOS.
Last week I shut down my PC before going on vacation, plugged it back in today and when it started up I was told to reboot and choose the correct boot device. Now I’m stuck because I can’t open the machine at all, the NVMe drive isn’t showing up in the BIOS, so I’m worried it’s not working. Many important files are on it and I need them for my college work. I’m planning to install Windows on a USB drive and run it on another internal drive to try and recover data or fix the issue. Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?
Secure boot prompts to turn off CSM and reboot; disabling them causes a black screen with no monitor output. On your B450 Aorus M board, UEFI settings aren’t visible in the BIOS.
I need to reset the CMOS to return to BIOS, which has been frustrating after trying various BIOS configurations all day. Clearing CMOS just to get back where I began is a hassle. There don’t seem to be any adjustable BIOS settings now, and I’m confused about why this feels like a drive failure despite the device being less than a year old.
You see your three storage devices listed, but the M.2 drive isn’t displayed in BIOS settings. When checking boot options, it disappears entirely. In NVMe configuration details, it appears as 0.0Gb. During self-test, performance drops significantly and the test fails.
It seems the storage device might have stopped working. I called the screw securing it and was really stressed trying to take it out, but now I’m left with the task of getting it removed. I thought about installing a new Windows copy on another drive to see if anything can be salvaged.
