Azrock B550M-HDV P1.90
AMD Athlon 3000
3500 MHZ
DDR4-2666 16 gb
EVGA BP510

Bios with SSD connected to new SATA cable to new MB:
Port1-4 not present
Recognizes USB device. Just wiped device and reinstalled Windows Media Creation Tool. Won't boot from device.
Connected cable and power used for SSD (brand new also) to optical drive and it powers on but all Sata ports read "not present"
I'm trying to figure out if I need to somehow "turn on" Sata ports in bios. Never had to do it before. Also not sure why it won't boot from bootable device.

The fact that you can get to a bios is even amazing from what I can tell the board doesn't support athlon CPUs.

Supports AMD AM4 Socket Ryzen™ 3000, 3000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 5000 and 5000 G-Series ... 4 Rear) Gigabit LAN *Not compatible with AMD Athlon™ Processors.
