I recently bought a new pc with the aorus motherboard, and it worked really well with no issues until today.. I decided to update my bios and since then my ssd (kingston nv3 1tb m.2 2280 nvme) won't be detected, I have no idea why, I tried resetting the settings, resetting the CMOS, various bios configurations. But still I get n\a in the m.2 list and also can't access nMVE configuration bc it says no nVME device is detectd.. I tried reverting to the previous version and unfortunately the issue seems to stay.. I tried booting from another drive to check the connected devices, but the ssd is not showing there either..I tried compatibility mode as well, and didn't work.how can I fix it?

What BIOS version did you update to? Did you verify the PCB revision number on your motherboard prior to downloading and updating the BIOS on your motherboard? There seems to be two PCB revision numbers and both have different BIOS versions listed.

Have you also tried moving the SSD to other slots on your motherboard?

Thanks for the reply!
I have a rev. 1.x one, I updated from version FK to FLb, I tried downgrading back to the old version but the same bug.
(Actually gigabyte prevents you from flashing the wrong BIOS by a checksum. So if you try to install an unfitting BIOS it will give you an error).
I have not tried moving the SSD to another slot, cause I don't think it's the solution but a workaround and I want to ensure the slot is working properly..
