Last week, my computer was running fine while gaming; however, a few hours later, it started running slow and could not operate web browsers. So, I turned off my computer and turned it back on, but it couldn't make it to the BIOS screen. Next, I checked the RAM and GPU, which worked fine in a different PC. The next day, I went to buy a new motherboard, the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI, and the PC continued to not turn on. I then tried a new CPU with the MSI motherboard, and I was able to boot into Windows without any issues. Next, I tried using the new CPU with my old motherboard, the Asus Strix B650E-E, and now it won't display the SN850X M.2 I have installed Windows on in my BIOS, but it shows my Ubuntu M.2 (which is the SSD I did not try with the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK). The last thing I haven't tried is using the MSI motherboard with my new CPU, but it doesn't make sense because I could boot into Ubuntu on my old motherboard.

Things I have tried to get my SSD to display again on the Asus Motherboard:
  1. Clearing my CMOS
  2. Updating the BIOS
  3. Flashing the BIOS
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 280
RAM: DOMINATOR® PLATINUM RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 DRAM 5600MT/s CL36 Memory Kit
GPU: ROG Asus Strix 3080 12 GB
SSD: SN850X (not working), SN770(working but is using Ubuntu and is not my main drive)
PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold Full Modular
Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini
OS: Windows and Ubuntu (Windows is the one not working)
Monitor: BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K 24.5-inch 240Hz

All the parts are exactly one year old.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have tried the SN850X in the SN770 spot and it still does not get picked up in BIOS. And when I clear CMOS I get this message "Please enter setup to recover Bios setting. When Raid configuration was built, ensure to set SATA configuration to Raid mode." But it does not display the SN850X M.2.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

As for your BIOS, go in this order, 3>2>1. As for clearing the CMOS, can you walk us through how you did it?

Thank you, I updated originally post with my specs. As for the CMOS, I turned off my computer and pressed the CMOS button on the back of my computer.
