Primary M.2 drive slot not showing drive after CPU upgrade

[Viridios]

Hey all, I currently have an X570 AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0) motherboard that I was running with 3600x / F3 bios for years. The plan was always to upgrade to a 5800x3d, which I recently got on sale. To prep for this, I updated the bios on my MB to F37 and everything was working for about 3 weeks running my 3600x.

 

This weekend, swapped out the 3600x for the 5800x3d. Booted up, got the fTPM message, then no boot device detected. Went back into bios, no device listed in the primary M.2 slot, all other drives showed fine. Swapped back to the 3600x, same thing, no drive listed in the primary slot. Got a new m.2 and an external m.2 enclosure from BB today, old m.2 works fine in the enclosure, put in the new drive, still not showing in bios or when I went to install windows. Double checked on part picker and they show my MB has compatible with the new drive.

 

I don't know if I somehow managed to damage both CPUs, if that slot is damaged on my MB now, if I'm now hitting some sort of internal drive limit based on the storage interface or something else.

 

I'm currently running a fresh windows 10 install on an old 2.5 SSD so i can work in the AM via remote.

 

I'm at a complete loss. Thoughts?

Check your CMOS battery voltage. 

 

Check the CPU-s for bent pins.

 

Make sure you're running Secure Boot enabled, UEFI boot, CSM disabled.

downgrade the bios and it should work again. and get all version of the bios for the mobo. and test each one till it works properly. and did you remember to go into the bios and to m.2 back on !!!

How would I check CMOS voltage? Neither of my CPUs seemed to have bent pins when I checked them. There's no resistance when I install them in my MB. I'll try the 3rd thing later today.

Would I need to downgrade bios if everything initially worked with my 3600x for a few weeks? Where would that m.2 setting be? Also the drive in my other m.2 slot still shows.

Voltmeter, multimeter, CR2032 battery tester, ... if you don't have any of those, just replace the battery - cheaper than getting a multimeter.

just lick the battery if it shocks you it is still ok !!! only way to free test button batteries without a volt meter !!! old school technique !!!

Clear / reset the CMOS or set the BIOS settings to default.

My friend (last week?) finally upgraded his Ryzen 3600 to a 5800X3D we got for him for his birthday.

He's running a B450 Arous Elite so he had to update the BIOS first. Similar symptoms as you.

I cleared CMOS and set to optimized defaults, no dice. I've also been on the latest bios for several weeks prior to swapping out CPUs
