By the way, I just check your SSD. Seems you are using the XPG brand from ADATA. My friend have the same board as you, and he getting problem with the RAM from XPG as well. not compatible, XMP always makes the boards crash.

Don't stray away from QVL list when you are using asrock. Sometimes it didn't support 'newer' type very well, and the BIOS update from asrock is crap... (By the way ASUS same problem too i see in their forum as well) same factory...]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2021 08:34:40 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84370&title=m-2-disappears#84370 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84369&title=m-2-disappears#84369 Author: kuririkura

Don't go with cheap NVME. That's my problem. Cheap one (KLEVV C710) is getting issue. But the expensive one (toshiba kioxia works)

Did you use the M.2 as main storage (boot os) or secondary storage? Does it disappear after you restart or before you restart?

My problem is my M.2 always disappear when i put workload to the GPU. Seems it losing power when GPU draws power from pcie. Drive seems still there, but crystaldiskmarkinfo can't see it.
And to return it back online i need to power it off, restart also not working]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2021 05:44:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84366&title=m-2-disappears#84366 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84348&title=m-2-disappears#84348 Author: PyramidWorld

I appreciate everyones help so far!

This is my first ASRock mobo, and from the experience, it will be my last. A stupid issue and not one bit of help from the forums. Thanks for nothing guys! I'm sticking with Asus ]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2021 04:00:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84348&title=m-2-disappears#84348 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84192&title=m-2-disappears#84192 Author: PyramidWorld

So I updated my UEFI on my ASRock B450M to version 3.60. It did not help. So to recap, if I show down the system, the next boot cycle is normal. Yet if I restart the system, it cant find the M.2 at all. It did this before I even got the OS installed, so that's why I thought a UEFI update would work. Has anyone experienced this? I'm using an AData XPG Spectrix S20G 1Tb.]]> Mon, 22 Feb 2021 06:09:07 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84192&title=m-2-disappears#84192 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18192&PID=84176&title=m-2-disappears#84176 Author: PyramidWorld
