1. I keep getting the American Megatrend screen before windows starts. There aren't any errors
it just says I have 850 EVO connected and xyz mice, keyboards, etc.

a) I just installed a M.2 yesterday but it doesn't show up on this screen is this normal?
b) Is there anyway to get rid of this screen? I currently disconnected the front usb 2.0 I/O from the mobo because I need the header for my AIO. Are these related?

2. I have an unknown device currently in my device manager. It has the location "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System". I heard this is for Intel Smart Connect Technology and there is a way to disable it in the UEFI. I currently have the x99 asus deluxe ii. Where is the option to disconnect this?

Thanks
