So i just installed a ryzen 5 3600x into my system replacing a 2600.... I updated bios and everthing went well. I got into windows, ran some checks and simple benchmarks... All seemed well. So shut down, went into the bios, changed the percision boost and enabled the cpu to run at 4.2 no problems as well as set ram @ 3200 no problems... No temp problems, not any "problem" im aware of.

Now all of a sudden, one of my hdds is not recognized even in bios and boot times are ridiculous long. Boot drive is a 500gb ssd, nothing wrong with it. Boot times used to be like 15 to 20 seconds... Now its like 2 or 3 minutes
What do i do about the hdd that was there and no longer is, and what do i do about these boot times?
EDIT
That OC from PBO was WAY unstable, some asshat told me that that would be the best way to overclock

"Missing HDD" may be faulty or failed, thus increasing boot time since it's still connected to the system.

How long is boot time with that HDD physically removed or disconnected?
