Hi, new to the forum and if you read on you'll see why I joined.

I'm new to all this pc stuff so forgive me if I use the wrong terminology. I'll put my components here as it'll probably help you to help me.

Cpu Ryzen 5 3600X (stock cooler)
Motherboard asus tuf gaming x570-plus
Psu corsair RM750x gold
Gpu Power Color Radeon RX5700XT red devil
Ram corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16gb 3600mhz
Storage wd blue sn550 1tb (times 2)
Case 220T Airflow

I'm trying to build my first ever pc and everything seemed to be going OK until I tried to get into the bios/uefi.

So I've got everything connect up OK and it seemed to post just fine but I couldn't access the bios. It just got stuck on a tuf gaming logo saying press f2 or delete to enter bios. Pressing either of these keys does nothing.

I can access the bios if I remove the nvme SSDs, I can also access the bios when I used a HDD I took out of a PS4 and that drive is visible in the bios screen.
The bios version is 1005 if that helps.

So can anyone help me get this thing up and running with the m.2 nvme SSD?

These two sticks are the only storage I've got for this machine but the damn thing doesn't seem to recognise them.

Also had a friend talk me through some bios stuff and he had me disable cms and fast boot when I had no m.2 ssd connected, but neither of those allowed me in to bios when I put them back in the slots.

I've also tried both sticks in both slots, separately and together and that made no difference either.

Cheers.
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.

Tried clearing the CMOS (take mobo battery out for a few minutes)? Don't overclock anything yet (leave CPU and RAM on default, don't enable XMP, if it enables by default then disable it) and see if it makes a difference.
 
Cheers for the suggestions, will have a look in a bit. I naively thought it would be easy to set up and it'd all work out of the box.

It usually is. Can't say I've heard of this issue before but you could wait forever maybe for someone to come up with a pinpoint solution, so might as well try a few more general things meantime.
 
Quick update,
I think I've cracked it. I updated bios then set CSM to enabled. Changed boot from storage to uefi only and boot from pci-e/pci expansion devices to uefi only.

Don't know what that's done but my m.2 nvme drive is showing now.
