m.2 ssd PCI-E is not working.
I currently bought a new motherboard b450 ds3h and I bought a Kingston a2000 500 gb M.2 ssd.
After building my pc, everything works but the m.2 is not detected at all.
Help, I don't know how to solve this.
 
Here you go.
You can not use nvme M.2 with this cpu.


If you want to use it, you can install it with pcie M.2 adapter card.

yea my MOBO has a m.2 PCI-e slot
Your motherboard has an M.2 port, that can utilize either an NVMe drive like that Kingston, OR a SATA III M.2 drive.
However, this depends on the CPU used.

With your Athlon, that M.2 port can ONLY use a SATA III M.2 drive.
Like a Samsung 860 EVO M.2, Crucial MX500, others.

The CPU you have limits the compatibility of that port.
