[SOLVED] NVMe SSD for Boot Drive

[adhityain]

Hi,

I just recently build my first PC, and I'm using NVMe SSD as my boot drive for Windows 10. At first, I didn't notice about this problem, because I thought that if I didn't insert my keyboard and/or mouse to the PC then it would go straight to BIOS. And then I realized that it should be boot to Windows whether I had my keyboard or mouse inserted or not. The problem is my NVMe SSD doesn't show up and it would go to BIOS every first boot after I shutdown my PC, but if I restart it. the SSD works perfectly and I can boot into Windows normally.

Some solutions I already tried:

1. Check SSD firmware (already up-to-date)
2. Check BIOS version (already up-to-date)
3. Switch it with my HDD from laptop (works perfectly)
4. Put my SSD to my laptop (works perfectly)
5. Make partition (nothing happened)

What should I do?

Here's my PC specifications:

AMD A8-9600 APU
ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0
GEIL EVO POTENZA 2x4GB 2400MHz
ADATA SX6000 Lite 256GB M.2 NVMe
1STPLAYER DK 5.0 500W 80+ Bronze

It's already turned off

You do know that when you do get this running, that SSD will only be Gen3 x2 performance, right?

That Athlon CPU is the factor in that.

Is that possibly the reason of my problem? The processor downgrade the speed?

Multiple issues.

Many system will not boot without a keyboard attached
The Athlon CPU restricting the M.2 port performance
That no-name PSU. I'd be hugely surprised if it even got close to delivering its stated "500 watts".

Thank you, tomorrow I'll try to use SSD SATA instead of NVMe and see if it's work, because I can't afford for higher processor yet.

The NVMe should "work", just slower than it could be.
Assuming no other problems.
