Update. I'm not sure what made the original Sabrent SSD glitch out which is why I added another 2tb nvme m.2 drive, but I may have found a reason for the weird behavior with both SSDs in. The EFI partition was still on the Sabrent drive and not on the same drive as my windows install. (because I guess the Sabrent was still installed when I installed my Kingston 2TB, and it somehow still read the partition when I installed Windows again on the new SSD even though it wouldn't boot from the Sabrent?? confused, I am) I just fixed all that with this: https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/52837-moving-recreating-efi-partition.html Fingers crossed- this helps resolve the issue. But it's something to check if somebody has similar issues. But then again, I have no idea if that would even cause an issue like what I was having. Anybody here know if having the EFI part on another drive than the main OS would cause an issue? I noticed it because I wanted to wipe the Sabrent and use it as a 2nd drive for just my games. Damn games are big today. It had started working again so I was dual booting to access something I had on the old OS drive...

I've had to do reset and also had to power cycle the psu. Maybe I should make a live usb to use next time it happens so I can poke around to see what's going on.

MOBO is currently on default settings.

I've googled this issue and the only results are for them not showing up period, not just not showing up sometimes. Mobo: Gigabyte b550 ud ac CPU: R5 5600x Ram: 16 GB DDR4 GPU: Zotac RTX 3600 ti lhr. Storage: Kingston NV1 2TB M.2 and a Sabrent Rocket 2TB M.2. All I have are M.2 drives... and sometimes the PC just won't see them- either of them (I have it in duel boot right now- so it always asks which one to boot from on start up.. when it sees them) I originally had the same issue without resolution when I just had the Sabrent, and that's why I added the Kingston. But then later the Sabrent just started working again. So every time it does this my heart stops because previously a power cycle did not fix. Any ideas? I am stumped. And yes, I did the update to the latest MOBO BIOS. I've considered adding a SATA SSD.. just to see if it recognizes that one when the other two ghost out. But this only happens every once in a while.. though it usually does it a few times when it happens once.

Some TALL sizes would be appreciated. I don't want to have to wear a tent just to get a shirt long enough. Though I realize you need a certain amount of orders for each size to make the numbers make cents. I have a shirt idea- do a TSWAC. T-Shirt With A Collar. Put your logo on it like a Polo shirt... lots of people have jobs that require a shirt with a collar. Offering a well made T-Shirt with a small collar would be nice option for comfort. I guess it would need to be a small V-neck to make sense with a collar- unless it also had some fake buttons like a real polo shirt.

I ordered a Wolverine V2 yesterday. I actually like a wired controller over dealing with batteries/recharging/wireless issues. I think the DS4 and DS5 issues were Bluetooth related. They would work fine for like 5 seconds then go nuts. At some point it's not fun trying to figure it out anymore. I want to game, not play a VR IT Simulation.

UPDATE. DS4Winsdows must be broken on Windows 11. Just having Steam running and a PS4 controller connected causes the cursor to go wild. Tried more than one PS4 controller too. Several different settings in DS4Windows I deleted it and it STILL does it. ffs.

Ok, have moved to using one of my old PS4 controllers. I am used to them and seem better than the 360 controller (originally used going back TWO gaming PCs since it worked in windows.. usually). (the stick extensions were garbage- it doesn't help with the initial movement needed to overcome the centering spring causing a lack of fine accuracy) This DS4Windows gives me sensitively scaling options for the analog sticks! It can start very slow then ramp up as you move. Haven't tried it with Battlebit yet, so whether or not it gets flag as a cheat is still a question. But this will at least help with single player games. Sometimes I just want to play HL2 mods with a controller.
