GPU motherboard POSTing weirdness, with a sprinkle of hard drive issues.

I set up a work/render rig yesterday. When I went to bed last night Windows 10 was functional, I had two ssd's reading properly and one m.2 not showing up. Google leads to a page discussing my board having the m.2 and pci on one slot and using a pic express card (like my RX570) turns the m.2 slot off, so I figure the problem is I have to move it to the other slot. I do, and it posts with five beeps. I clear the cmos and it posts with five beeps. I move the card back and it posts fine but now says it has no storage devices including my boot drive.

I need to get it online asap. I would like to be able to use my m.2 but I can swallow not if I have it working at all. What should I do next?

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Are you om the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? Are you on Build 1809 for Windows 10?

Moved thread from Motherboard's to System's.

Motherboard bios is up to date. Windows is the most recent build.

Update: build runs sans m.2. Any ideas why that is not functioning would be appreciated.
