So I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 1200 to a Ryzen 3600 and I ran into a problem with my PC booting, My boot drive is a 500 GB Samsung 970 Evo NVME SSD, It used to take about 10 seconds for a cold startup, Now after I hit the power button it takes 30 seconds to show the bios screen then turns off and then turns on again on its own and then takes another 20 or so seconds to finish booting, I also did not have any performance improvement with the upgrade which does not make sense considering everyone else said the 3600 would destroy a 1st gen Ryzen in performance. it seems I have tried just about everything other than reinstalling windows. My other PC components
EVGA 1050ti 4GB
Asus Prime B350 Plus Motherboard
16 GB of Ballistix 2400 MHz (4x4)
1TB Hard Drive (not the boot drive)
Extra Info
Checked that the motherboard was compatible with the new Ryzen chips
I already tried unplugging the ssd and plugging it back in
Have the latest version of the bios
Tried changing various boot settings and options in the bios
Tried reseting CMOS
I have had no luck with any of these.
EDIT: I should also mention that my BIOS does not seem to recognize a drive being in the M2 slot. But in the boot order the Samsung 970 EVO is there, weirdly It only boots with Windows Boot Manager and not just the drive, I do think I had this problem previously but it may not have affected my previous CPU.
