System freezes during startup due to NVMe issues.
System freezes during startup due to NVMe issues.
Motherboard model: ASROCK B450M PRO4 BIOS Version: P3.50 GPU: Gigabyte 3060 CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 PSU: 550 watt Windows 10 64bit RAM: 16GB I recently purchased a Crucial P3 2TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3.0 NVMe but it isn't functioning. Attempts made: - disconnecting all other drives - disabling secure boot - turning off CSM (compatibility support module) - erasing CMOS - updating BIOS to 3.50 - using my laptop to install Windows on the drive (installed and ran) - inserting the drive in the bottom slot (not recognized in BIOS or Windows) (occurred before and after Windows on drive, before and after BIOS update) - inserting the drive in the top slot (freezes at boot logo) (occurred before and after Windows on drive, before and after BIOS update) - using my laptop's NVMe in top slot works. (Bottom slot doesn't.) Why does my Crucial freeze at boot, but others do not? And why does my laptop's NVMe work while mine doesn't?
The latest models don't work well with my CPU. The only one with Summit Ridge support is 3.5, and all others warn against using that BIOS with a Summit Ridge CPU.
I'm not sure about the exact meaning. You probably meant topics?
I don’t have enough funds to upgrade my CPU, so I’ll skip the NVMe option. Thanks for your assistance!
The manual indicates the bottom M.2 slot is intended for SATA SSDs up to 6Gb/s. A quick check on Crucial's site confirms this compatibility. The NVMe support should also be available, along with the CPU and mainboard. My assumption is this setup works well for those components.
