BIOS 1.50 didn't help with me. Any thoughts Asrock?]]> Sun, 08 Oct 2017 16:29:33 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6281&PID=37582&title=x399-gaming-wd-ssd-problem#37582 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6281&PID=37581&title=x399-gaming-wd-ssd-problem#37581 Author: Kimblah

It is normal for an Ax POST code to be shown when using the UEFI/BIOS interface. The Western Digital M.2 SSD you have is a SATA M.2 SSD, which should work fine in any of the M.2 slots. The Samsung PM961 is an NVMe SSD, and since it is recognized the M.2 slots should be working fine. The new 1.70 UEFI/BIOS version adds the new AMD NVMe RAID support. You did not say if you use RAID mode or not, or if you have any RAID arrays in that PC. Do you have the SATA mode set to RAID or AHCI? I'm curious because the 1.70 UEFI version is new and changes the way RAID works, and I wonder if it might be causing some other issues, or if it is related to AMD's new RAID.

Posts are not from the same person. Mine is set to ACHI. Will have to try the 1.50 BIOS.
