Hello everyone,
I'll try to be as detailed as possible in explaining my issue.
I have upgraded my XPS 7590 from it's factory installed NVMe of 512 GB (Toshiba kxg60znv512g) to a 1TB 970 EvoPlus.
The issue is that my big PC being prevented to move past the bios post comes when installing the Toshiba NVMe that remained from the laptop into the desktop PC as a secondary drive.
The desktop PC has a Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS motherboard with a Ryzen 3600X and a WD Black SN750 NVMe as the main system drive, another 860 Evo as a secondary and a 2TB HDD also as a secondary drive.
The details of the issue is that as long as the Toshiba NVMe si connected to the Asus motherboard the initial BIOS POST freezes and never moves past it.
Now, i know that the motherboard listed above only has one NVMe slot so i purchased a PCIe adapter which worked great with another NVMe i tested on it.
I'll list what i tried to make it work:
I powered up the PC without the Toshiba drive adapter, booted into windows and then placed the PC into sleep mode.
I then installed the PCIe adaptor with the Toshiba drive and brought the computer back from sleep and guess what happened:
Windows was able to recognize and install the Toshiba drive. I was able to delete everything on it, format it, delete partitions, etc.
On reboot, it still won't go past BIOS POST screen, freezes there.
I would also like to add that there is no way to enter the BIOS with the Toshiba NVMe installed.
From all my tests it's clear that the adapter is not the problem here, also i don't see why it would be a compatibility issue if i was able to force it to be used once windows loaded up.
My question is simple:
Has anyone encountered something similar before and does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thank you all in advance!

I'll list what i tried to make it work:
- Removed Toshiba and changed AHCI to RAID, reinstalled Toshiba and tried again (Nothing changed)
- Removed all Drives from the motherboard and installed only the Toshiba NVMe without using the adapter (Still freezes on BIOS post)
