B450M Steel Legend and NVMe

   Hey folks,

First of all I apologize if this has been asked before.  At work, in a slight rush and a quick search didn't return anything.  Ok on to it now.

I have the following storage device:
Lexar NM600 PCIe M.2 480GB Solid State Drive (SSD) LNM600-480RBNA

I also have a traditional SSD installed in the SATA 3_1 port (shown in photo attached) This was only installed as the 450GB NVMe SSD I have does not seem to show up in the BIOS or Windows.

[/IMG]

So what am I doing wrong here?  Is there some sort of special setting that needs to be configured in order for the system to recognize this drive.  I really don't want to traditional SSD in this machine and the only reason it is, is because of this issue with not recognizing the drive.

I have tried it in both the M2_1 and M2_2 slots with nothing showing up.

	Remember/notice your personal bios settings (if you have any) and make a CMOS reset. If that does not help... Yes, there are some more user with this problem. Look around in this board. What CPU do you use and which bios version?

	Problem solved. Moved the drive to the Ultra M.2 slot nearest the CPU. Not sure why it started recognizing it this time around as I had it there originally. Could have had to do with something being corrupt as well. Had to do a full clean/format and reinstall windows as the system was so unstable causing the system to restart or lock up. After the clean install, everything works quite well and a 4 hour stress test with the system overclocked yielded excellent stability and temps.

	I do not understand what the 'not' recognized NVME drive has to do with the corrupt file system or OS on the SATA SSD, but anyway: Good to read that the problem is solved!
