[SOLVED] X570 master and aorus gen 4 nvme windows boot drive issues

[Clintonsbn]

Okay so is there are times over the past couple of days that I have been able to get my motherboard to recognize the nvme drive. There are times when it does not recognize the drive. I have installed and reinstalled Windows about six times on this drive. I have done it on both versions of the BIOS F4F and F5. Every time I can get Windows up and running it runs fast runs good and then at some point either after restarting powering down or playing a game Windows crashes and is unable to boot. I get boot errors such as 0x00000bb consistently. The next thing I want to try is to install Windows on my Samsung 512 gigabyte SATA SSD. Just to get my nvme drive to work. But obviously I want Windows to boot off the nvme drive and I can never get it to show up as UEFI like my USB Windows boot stick does. If anyone knows anything that could help me with this I would love you and buy you a beer.

Have you looked in Device Manager for any yellow warning signs?

When windows is running ice checked and no yellow cautionsigns

So I have gotten to the point where I'm giving up using an NVME drive at all on this x570 motherboard.
My SATA SSD's are working no problem. I've tried reinstalling windows countless times over the past week, multiple times in a night some nights. The NVME Drive wants to work sometimes and show up in bios, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it lets me install windows and boot it up, then even get it running and do things.. then it crashes and i have corrupt windows again. Starting all over. then it shows up and i get that stupid initializelibrary 0x0000000bb or whatever. Sometimes i install windows and when it restarts... it gets hung up in the bios and the drive doesnt show up again... CSM enabled... CSM Disabled... neither work.

However I'm installing windows right now onto my SATA SSD and seems to be smooth so far no problems... MAYBE my m.2 drive will show up and can be a houdini storage system. It'll be like NPC's in some games that show up randomly so you can buy shit off of them that you cant get anywhere else.

If i couldnt take it back to the store i'd throw it against a wall at this point. Just mad that there's no super resolved solution for this as i've seen quite a few posts with these issues and its a gigabyte item in a gigabyte motherboard with gigabyte video card even. /endrant

if anyone finds or knows solutions i'm still open but really upset i got the x570 with a lot of excitement for the gen 4 nvme capabilities and its proving to be a copper brick.

It's not uncommon for motherboards to need several BIOS updates when new features are introduced. Have you contacted Gigabyte Customer Support about this problem?

I have and have been waiting a reaponse. But so far after changing windows boot to a 2.5" ssd the nvme drive shows up and is working as intended... Well see now if its stable after a couple of days.

NVMe SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector.

Guide for NVMe M.2 installation in this thread:

Can't boot from M.2 NVMe SSD

I had a Samsung 850 SSD (SATA) with Windows 10 on it. I bought Samsung 970 SSD (M.2). Turned off the computer, plugged it in, inserted a bootable USB stick with Windows 10 on it. Went directly to BIOS and changed boot priority to boot from the stick. Then, I installed Windows 10 on the new drive...
