Hi there,

I'm testing a new combination of inexpensive motherboard bundles for potential mass deployment into the workplace.

I'm using the Asus A520M-K, Ryzen 5600G, 16GB Ram and 1TB Samsung 980 M.2. The motherboard has the latest bios and default settings.

Although the Samsung 980 shows in the BIOS, it is not visible to the windows 11 installer. When I use an old SSD to boot into windows, the drive is not even visible in Disk Management.

In Device Manager I can see Standard NVM Express controller is saying "code 10" device cannot start and IO adaptor hardware error has occurred. I doubt anything is faulty because I have tried a second identical motherboard and M.2. I know from previous experience that the 500GB Samsung 980 works.

Can anyone help please? Is it just incompatibility or is there something I've missed.

Thanks,

Jamie

Not sure if helpful here but check in the manual as to M.2, PCI-e and SATA port provisioning as some of these kind of boards have limited lanes available and populating one of a M.2, PCI-e or SATA connection such may disable another.

EDIT: I had a quick look at the manual and couldn't see anything like that noted.

I've just turned off SATA completely as I don't need it. Sadly it's still not seeing the M.2 drive.

Do you have another nvme drive to test? could be an issue with the drive rather than a setting.

tried a bios reset\remove the battery, disconnect from the mains and press the power button for 10 seconds then wait 20 mins?

edit - tried this?

Huge thanks for that! That looks like the default BIOS config is just plain wrong.

I'll try that once I get to work tomorrow and report back.:)
