I'm currently running into a seemingly known issue with my computer, but the exact issue I'm running into is difficult to find an answer online to fix my real problem (SSD unable to be recognized in the boot manager of the BIOS to start Windows 10 from my preferred boot device):
I have an X470 Gaming Pro Motherboard with 2 m_2 PCIe compatible slots and 6 SATA ports. About 3 months ago, I built my computer from scratch with a Force MP600 NVMe SSD in the m_2 slot closest to the CPU and also have an HDD plugged into 1 of the SATA ports using a SATA cable and it was working great with no issues at all. Randomly, after several months my computer just starts giving me the message: "boot device not recognized" or something along those lines and basically the computer isn't recognizing my SSD (where Windows 10 is installed) to boot my computer and have it start. The computer is perpetually going to that error message or redirecting me straight to the BIOS.
I look in the boot manager and the SSD is not listed:
All of my games and stuff are located on the "broken" SSD and even with a WD750 SSD (brand new), that SSD was not recognized either. The confusing part for me is nothing had changed from when it was working to when it stopped working. The only possible thing that comes to mind is a corrupt file was exposed to that SSD (but even the new SSD with nothing on it is not recognized either) or a storm caused that piece of the MOBO to fry? Really unsure.
Everything seems to point to the PCIe m_2 slots in the motherboard, but I'm really not sure how to get my SSDs recognized so that I can continue using those since they're superior to an HDD w/ a SATA connection. Can anyone point me to a useful article with my known issue or may be able to help? I appreciate any and all help!
Thank you for taking the time to read through this regardless,

I look in the boot manager and the SSD is not listed:
- I try removing my current SSD and reapplying, still nothing.
- I put it in the other m_2 slot, still not showing up in the BIOS.
- I try using a completely new NVMe compatible SSD and still not showing.
- My HDD sometimes shows up and other times doesn't.
- I have tried updating some of the advanced settings based on the forums to disable CSM
- Enabled RAID in the advanced settings
- Tried the CTRL + ALT + DELETE and other basic troubleshooting methods
- I even tried another SATA cable for the HDD just because it wasn't being consistently recognized in the boot manager.
