I have just upgraded my PC with an MSI X99s SLI Plus/i7 5830/DDR4/M.2 SATA SSD(for the OS) combo.
After doing a complete reinstall of W7 64 and all software everything was working fine initially. Then I started getting error messages re overclocking profiles and then the system failed to find the OS -the M.2 no longer appeared on the hardware list
Fortunately the MB has dual bios and after switching to the second BIOS everything was working as normal so I know that there isn't a hardware fault.
I've updated the first BIOS successfully to the latest version and it now recognises all hardware but W7 gets stuck on the first screen and when I reboot it goes into repair mode which crashes and reboots in a repeated cycle.
I though of clearing the CMOS but will that reset both BIOS or just the one currently switched to?
Prior to the crash I had been poking around in the in the BIOS set up screens but had not (as far as I know) changed anything.
Any advice would be welcome.
