Installed a sn850x on my 2nd M2 slot under the gpu. Now I get 4 post beeps (one of them long) and I can't even get into the bios. Anyone know what's up here? The mobo is an Aorus x570 elite. Took out the new nvme and it does the same thing without it. Is there boot settings I needed to change before I put it in?

1 long and 3 short beeps is video card not detected or seated properly.

On some motherboards PCI-E slots and NVME slots share PCI-E lanes and you can only use one or the other, refer to the manual to see if this is the case for you board. With my MSI Mag B550 Tomahawk I had to move my sound card when I installed a second NVME.

I reseated the gpu and got it to recognize the new m2 drive. Now it will boot into the desktop but sometimes still has the same beeps and other times is normal? Incredibly annoying but since it's actually booting should I still be worried about it?

Also the gpu usage stays at a constant 100% in game. Before it at least dipped into the 90's. Don't know if that's an issue?
