Right, so I booted my computer today only to find that it did not boot into windows and instead took me to the BIOS where I am stuck. The storage device is coming up on the BIOS but it is not registering as a boot device so I cannot boot into windows. Any help would be great.
My specs are
Asus Tuf x570 gaming motherboard

ryzen 7 3700x

rtx 2070 super

1TB Samsung Evo 970 m.2 NVME SSD

Do you have a secondary drive ?

Clear the cmos and if you do 

Unplug it and try.

I only have 1 drive, I will do a Cmos reset now but I think it has something to do with the memory speeds because AMD ryzen master changed them earlier then this has happened so I am not too sure but I will give it a go.

If clearing cmos doesnt work, change the slots your ram are in. They should be in slots A2 and B2. Also enable xmp in the bios to get them to run at the advertised speed instead of 2133mhz.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response

Yeah, clearing the Cmos didn't work. Are you sure this will make my SSD register as a boot device?

Sorry for not replying @5x5 The last thing I did on the pc was do a test with AMD ryzen master and it restarted my PC and then this whole problem happened

If the drive is not visible at all in the BIOS then the SSD has simply failed.

If you've got another PC with an M.2 slot, might be worth testing the drive in that system

I also thought the drive was broken and when I tried to get Amazon to replace it they said they can't if data is on it. So how am I meant to delete the data of a broken drive. 

Then reinstall the OS and format the drive then RMA it
