Long story short, I had to uninstall my gpu, after reinstalling it my motherboard didn’t read my ram, I haven’t touched any other part of the computer but after reinstalling the ram it worked fine… or that’s what I thought.
I have two M.2’s for storage. They are roughly the same speed, but I use the slightly faster one as my boot drive, and the other to store personal files and projects I’m working on, that’s one that stopped showing up in windows. I booted into the BIOS ja sits not reading.
I have an RTX 3080, and I also have a choncky cpu cooler, so the pci switch to “unhitch” my gpu is pretty much impossible to reach with my hands, so I used a screwdriver to try and push it. I slipped a couple times, but it didn’t sound too bad, and it was the only way I knew how to do it. It worked btw, but now I’m really thinking “what if it slipped and hit the M.2?” The M.2 is right next to the pci slot, so I looked and I think I chipped some of the plastic off? How does it look to you: (edit View: https://imgur.com/a/rE4sUFa

You see on the bottom right of the drive where it connects to the motherboard and that plastic looks a bit chipped off? Idk how it’s supposed to look, and it looks a bit different from the top.
I want to avoid uninstalling and reinstalling it if possible because again, my gpu and cpu cooler are huge and I’d need to uninstall both to reach it, and seeing how this is going that will likely cause more problems… like I said, I have personal files and projects on there that I have spent hundreds of hours on, I can’t lose them!
