Hello, I recently decide to custom build a PC for university, so after buying all the parts I gave them to my brother so he could build the PC (he has built some PCs before).



On the day he gave it to me he told me that the SSD ( WD Blue 3D NAND Internal SSD M.2 SATA, 500 GB - Black) was being detected but wasn't accessible and he was going to tell me how to fix it... but he never did and forgot... so that is my first problem really and i was wondering if anyone had the same problem or knows the solution.



The 2nd problem is that 2 days after it was fully built it crashed while i was doing some work on it (it worked fine before), an orange LED stared to blink on the motherboard, i had a look and it indicates something to do with the RAM but i am not too sure. I turned the machine back on and it seems to be working fine.



Specs:

Asus ROG STRIX B450 - F

Vega 64

Ryzen 5 - 2600X

corsair vengeance lpx 2x8gb



If anyone could help that would be great, my PC knowledge is very basic

Any help is very appreciated, thank you.
 
Solution
The difference is the interface used by your m.2 drive -SATA, The slot that you're currently using does support only PCIe interface. The upper slot does support both PCIe and SATA interfaces,
