Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my recent pc build. So I got these components:
GIGABYTE AORUS B560M ELITE rev 1.0
Intel i5-11600KF
Adata XPG Gammix S70 SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe (pcie 4)
Cooler Master 650w V2 gold certificate
EVGA GTX 1600 OC 3GB

When I put the nvme in the m2p slot I get no signal and red lights on motherboard indicating a RAM or a CPU issue in a random way. Although my cpu is 11th gen and supports theoretically pcie4 and my nvme is a pcie 4 type I still have this issue which is supposed to happen only with 10th gen cpus when m2p gets locked in this case as there is no support for 10th gen cpus. I updated BIOS to the latest version for this specific motherboard which is F7, the CSM is disabled, I also disabled secure boot, set to another OS but still nothing. This nvme works fine with the second slot m2a which supports only pcie 3 speed and I managed to install windows 10 and it runs normally. But I payed the extra money to utilize the pcie 4 m2 slot and get higher speeds so please if anyone experienced the same issue I would appreciate it so much helping me. Thank you.
