Motherboard: ASRock X570 Steel Legend AM4 AMD
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: Nivida 970 G1 Gaming Windforce
Memory: HyperX Predator RGB DDR4-2933 4x8 GB (
HX429C15PB3AK4/32)
Storage: 2x
Intel 660p Series M.2 2280 1TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 3D, QLC SSD (SSDPEKNW010T8X1)
2x 1 TB Blue Western Digital
1 Kingston SSD 120 GB


I cannot get the system to detect the M.2 drives. I can get the system to boot from my old Kingston SSD. Also have a problem getting my memory to register. If I seat 2 in A1.A2 it works vice versa. If I load all 4 which are all the same and came in a kit of 4. They will only register 2 of the memory cards. I am at a major loss right now on what is going on.
 
NVME SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector.

Thank you for your input. I do have the NVME SSDs working now. Once I was in Windows 10 setup I deleted all partitions and made sure every drive was unallocated. Once that was accomplished I was finally able to install Windows on my NVME SSD making it my boot drive.

As far as the memory cards. All 4 are reading fine now. I have no idea how but I will not question.
