Hello everyone. I want to start off with saying that I just upgraded from my old B360 Gaming Plus motherboard by MSI to their MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC. I unfortunately, not knowing until after, ended up breaking my A2 ram slot due to not understanding the fact that it can't face any direction, and shoving it in. I'm not sure if that's what's causing some of the issues, but with my ram in A1 and B1, I haven't had issues with that. I have had issues with my devices not connecting properly (wireless headset via wireless USB, USB cords for charging, and my controller). I turned off Bluetooth and it got slightly better with the calls I made to friends on Discord, but I believe there are still issues my computer is having.
Though the biggest issue is the fact that my mobo won't detect my SATA drive. After following instructions on updating the bios, it's still not detected. I'm a bit worried, having bought my mobo from Newegg and another country (China), where the system might be different? I don't know, I'm completely new to this so any advice would be great.
Also, I didn't do a fresh install of Windows because I went from an Intel to Intel, plus during the process my comp still couldn't find my drive. Ironically, I did try to follow video guides on YouTube on switching mobos, and I followed the manual provided for the cables, yet for some reason I messed up somehow. (Excluding the ram mistake, lol.) For other specs, my CPU is the i9-9900k, ram is Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 (x2), and my drive is a Seagate Barracuda 2TB.
Edit: I unplugged then plugged in my drive again and it didn't help. However, much like my previous mobo, I put it into the JUSB1 port beside the power port. Should this be done or due to the change in motherboard I plug it into the SATA ports directly? Thanks!
