[SOLVED] Cmos and no ssd

[Lewisprotips]

So during plugging in a USB I pressed the cmos button while the pc was on. It shut down and then wouldn't boot past bios.

Error that it showed was fan header not connected. So I went onto fan speed and ignored that. Pressed save and restart and it just loads of bios.

Ive discovered my ssd isn't showing on the boot menu as well. I've took battery out of the mother board and it's made no difference. I've also tried loading the saved presets and no difference. Also tried csm enabling and disabling.

Spec i9 10900k
Rog thor psu
Rog strix 3090
rog strix hero xiii

Does any one have a solution?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Make and model your motherboard? You might want to see if disconnecting from the wall and display then removing the CMOS battery for 30 minutes, then pressing down on the power button for 30 seconds helps you out.

If you're able to get into BIOS, you might also want to check and see what BIOS version you're on right now.

Thank you its an Asus hero xiii. I did leave the battery out for 30 mins previous but didn't hold the power button down for 30 seconds

Tried the above and no joy. Still saying cpu header not connected and I've changed the ports for that as well l. Boot priority shows nothing in there.

Bios version is. 0232

Still saying cpu header not connected

Then connect fan to CPU_FAN header.

What is CMOS button? Did you mean Clear CMOS button? Or BIOS button?

What exactly are you trying to do?
Are you trying to install windows?
Are you trying to boot already installed windows? Is it windows on a transplanted drive from another PC?

Says on original post that it won't boot past bios. Cpu fan header has never been removed bit as said also above I've changed it to another port and no joy.

Also says above my ssd is no longer showing so I thought it would be obvious I was trying to get this to show and boot to windows.

So I've swapped out the ssd with a brand new one and it's not detecting that either.

Update*

Connected my old ssd into a different slot and it's detected it snd loaded up. But not detecting anything in my main ssd slot.

CPU fan has to be connected to CPU_FAN header (not to any other fan header - CPU_OPT, AIO_PUMP, CHA_FAN1P, CHA_FAN2P, CHA_FAN3P).

What SSD are you using? Is it M.2 NVME ?
Note -

M2_1 slot can not be used with 10th gen cpu ( your i9 10900k).​

M.2 SATA drive can be used only in M2_4 slot. It will not work in any other slot.​

​

To enable M.2_2 device when PCIE device has been detected in the PCIEx16_1
slot, please go to BIOS > Advanced > Onboard Device Configuration and set it to
PCIEX16_1 + PCIEX16_2 + M.2_2 mode

Thanks for that. I just managed to find the option on my own and it booted up. However you was right this was the issue and would of helped me massively.
