Hello,
I've had this PC build for 5 years working without any issue. A few days ago I've suddenly encountered a lot of problems back to back.
Relevant PC components for reference:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 3 GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus STRIX X370-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Video Card: MSI DUKE OC GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB Video Card
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
2 SSDs (connected via SATA)
1 HDD
1 SSHD
Windows 10 Pro Version 1903
Problem 1:
I got warning from windows about page file size. I googled appropriate page file size for my PC and followed the recommended 8GB - 12 GB. I restarted my PC when prompted and I discovered the following.
Problem 2:
Upon boot, my PC was stuck on MOBO screen for 5 min (for reference this is still happening) before finally reaching the windows logo screen which takes another 1-2 minutes for some reason.
Problem 3:
After finally booting into windows I found this popup stating “Windows Created a Temporary Paging File” Error View: https://imgur.com/wxsC4am
(for reference this is still happening)
Problem 4:
After clicking ok, a pop-up called Performance Options appeared which allowed me to change the paging file size. I tried changing it back to what it was before, however my HDD and SSHD are not deteced by Windows. I checked the BIOS to find that the HDD and SSHD are not detected. I was using the SSHD as my File History/paging file drive.
Problem 5:
I can't hear the POST beep anymore upon boot. Using a 4 pin speaker.
Trobuleshooting attempts I've tried so far and failed:
After booting on and off many times through these attempts, I've found the HDD is recognized sometimes. This leads me to believe the SSHD and HDD are not dead and something is wrong with Mobo.
Do you have any suggestions? I'd at least like to get my HDD and SSHD to be detected again.
I'll try to respond as fast as I can, but I have to wait up 10 min if I have to reboot.

I can't hear the POST beep anymore upon boot. Using a 4 pin speaker.
Trobuleshooting attempts I've tried so far and failed:
- Reset BIOS to default
- Reset CMOS as per mobo manual isntructions
- Changed CMOS battery
- Changed SATA ports for all the drives multiple times
- Swapped/tried new SATA cables. I didn't swap the SATA power because I know they work since the SSDs are connected to them. I am using 2 SATA power lines. Each line has 1 SSD and 1 HDD/SSHD connected to it.
- Increased POST delay time 10 seconds in BIOS (max time available)
- Changed OS Type to "Windows UEFI mode" in BIOS
- System restore
