Computer randomly started failing to boot and is taking me to the windows repair screen, none of the options there are working. When I go into the BIOS it detects the 500GB SSD but not the nvme. I finally gave up on it so just got out a windows installation media usb and thought I would do a fresh windows install but the windows installation media isn't detecting any of the drives. When I go into the console and do diskpart and list disk it only lists the usb for windows install. I set up a second usb and installed the sata drivers for my motherboard and it still isn't detecting anything. Is there anything else left to try or is something in this machine fried?

Also feel like I should add; ever since this started, it is also taking it 5-10 minutes to boot into the bios or windows repair screen

 

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B560M-A

SSD: WD Blue 500GB
NVME: Crucial 1TB

This reminds me of a BIOS issue, but can also be a memory issue in my experience.

I did a secure erase on the SSD in the BIOS and now its at least detecting that so I'm just gonna go ahead and install windows to it. Still no signs of life from the nvme though. At least its working now though so I'm not as worried about it.

Now that you've made it to the BIOS, are you able to interact with the system as normal? Also since the SSDs were having issues, does the behavior of the system change if you remove all the storage devices? What if you get a Linux install on a USB and boot to that?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B
