Hi there! So, I've encountered an issue with my new motherboard, which I recently learned from an MSI rep was discontinued (great) as I haven't been finding the MB sold in the U.S. Only China. Well, I installed all my parts properly, but forgot to update the bios before continuing. My SSD wasn't recognized in M2_1 until I moved it to M2_2, even though my HD was recognized (both in SATA 5 and SATA 1). I had to move one of my HD to SATA 6 because M2_2 was taking that slot apparently. Everything works perfectly, but I'm just confused on what's going on. Is it because I didn't update the bios in time? Is it because I had my HD plugged in when it should've just been my SSD? I don't know. I was recommended to clear the CMOS but I just want to make sure that this is the issue. I have the same board, but with a broken ram slot, though I updated that ones' bios before continuing into the comp to Windows. Any advice would be great, and if I have to once again get a new motherboard or even a new CPU, I'll accept that.
