I just built a new PC, and whilst buying the parts I managed to get a great deal on an m.2 drive, so it's my only drive.
The problem is it's not recognised by the BIOS nor the windows installation stages. I have plugged it out and back in the socket again and again, but nothing changes. I'm pretty sure the motherboard can't restrict the m.2 size, and it can't restrict it's speeds, but I have no idea what the problem could be.
Also, whilst I was plugging it out and back in, I left the screw out because that stupid thing is basically microscopic, although once the problem is resolved I'll put it back :/
Also, after I tried plugging the drive in for the second time, the BIOS lost half of it's graphics. Should I be worried? It's still got 100% functionality, it just looks weird.
I just took it out, and it has some heat to it, bare in mind that this could be from the CPU adjacent to it.
I guess I can list the components to help:
R7 1700
X370 GT5
MX 300 525gb m.2
P400 TGE
Ballistix 8gb ddr4
550w GS
Ryzen Wraith Cooler
GTX 1070 mini oc
