Question SSD PCIe activity light doesn't stop blinking

[JorgeJunior]

Hi!
I have an Asus ROG STRIX Z370-G Gaming.

My system ran fine on an M2 SATA for a long time. Then I got an M2 PCIe. My mobo has both slots. I cloned the system to the new M2. The activity light didn't stop blinking. I tested both slots.

I deleted the partition on the M2 and reinstalled Windows 11. A clean installation this time. "The activity light keeps blinking."
I disconnected any SSDs, and I haven't installed any programs yet.

These videos are from before I disconnected the other SSDs, before the reinstallation. It's blinking the same way.
The M2 PCIe is disk 5.

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard at this moment of time?

I deleted the partition on the M2 and reinstalled Windows 11. A clean installation this time.
Where did you source the installer for the OS?

The M2 PCIe is disk 5.
Please list your other drives and the ports they are populating on the motherboard.

BIOS version 2801 from 01/13/2021. It's the latest one.

I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft and created a bootable flash drive. It's not the first time I use it.

I hope this is what you want.

Hi!
The NVMe was damaged. I installed it in my friend's PC, and the problem persisted. So I got a new one. It's working now. 👍
