    [SOLVED] Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD doesn't show up during Windows 10 install ?

    Solved my own problem - after going into EZ mode I saw and disabled Intel Rapid Storage Technology, which I never saw in the advanced BIOS. NVME drive popped up in the windows install and BIOS shows it as NMVE storage not RAID.

    [SOLVED] Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD doesn't show up during Windows 10 install ?

    I tried both, but in the solution in most of threads with similar issues, Calvin7 posted a specific setup to get windows installed (Example: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/cant-install-windows-10-on-m-2.3082008/#post-19208033) I noticed that my 990pro shows up in my BIOS under RAID...

    [SOLVED] Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD doesn't show up during Windows 10 install ?

    BIOS is 2305 (most up to date). I've attempted to install both win 10/11 just to see if that made a difference. Only thing I haven't done is swap the drive around because I have a custom loop I have to drain to reach the m.2 :(

    [SOLVED] Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD doesn't show up during Windows 10 install ?

    Before I start - Calvin7's solution did not work for me. I have a bootable USB, I'm able to reach the Windows install, but when I get to it the part of choosing what drive to install it on, the M.2 drive doesn't show up despite refreshing. USB Legacy Off CSM off Other OS Secure Keys Cleared...

    Question Games Crash/Freeze - 3 year old PC, recent issue

    Swapped my Video Card to slot 2 on PCI-E - no crashes. Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's my MOBO's PCIe Lane 1. Of course starting an RMA with ASUS is harder than debugging the issue to begin with, but I have 1 month left of warranty.

    Question Games Crash/Freeze - 3 year old PC, recent issue

    New strip definitely had an effect, but after reformat, everything is still crashing. My entire PC freezes for a minute when the crash happens. Unlikely to be software, I downloaded a cloud version of windows 10 to make sure it was a new install and not keep anything of the original. All my...

    Spoke too soon - had a crash, but it took an hour+ to run into it. I'll see what happens when I've reformatted.

    Question Games Crash/Freeze - 3 year old PC, recent issue

    I consider reinstalling windows my 'nuclear' option since I don't want to take the time to backup 3 years worth of tinkering. Atm the only thing that's kept me from doing it is my windows install USB is in a box in a storage pod somewhere and I'm a few months from moving it all back out. I'll...

    Question Games Crash/Freeze - 3 year old PC, recent issue

    How did you find the motherboard issue? I've never seen an error change from AO(kay). I've ran stress tests for several hours with no issues, so I'm lost as to why games will crash, since they don't exactly stress my system. Is it worth paying for better benchmark software to test longer...

    Question Games Crash/Freeze - 3 year old PC, recent issue

    Been going down rabbit holes and tangents of research trying to figure this problem out. My surge protector is 3 years old and has likely seen some abuse (Shared a circuit with a portable AC unit last year). Could a bad power strip make it seem like a bad PSU? I've already swapped the PSU...

    Removed my Audio Card and used Mobo audio - problems persisted (recommended by activison) Did a clean uninstall/reinstall of video drivers (DDU). Warzone got worse - took longer to load, constant stuttering, crashed at basically the same point (haven't even been able to get passed tutorial)...
