Did we ever find a solution to this one? I recently tried putting a crucial 1tb into the m2_1 slot on my b450 mobo and it also hangs at post. Even tried it in a PCIE nvme adapter and got the same result.

After plugging it into another computer, I was able to see that it was not defective. I had to reformat it, but it still doesn't work on my PC. I'm going to try to find a way to install Windows onto it and see if the problem is my PC trying to boot through it. Not sure what else to do.

Is there a BIOS update or previous version that can be restored that it may work with?

I have the same problem on a B365 PRO 4 F, just hangs during BIOS POST.
SSD: WESTERN DIGITAL SN530 Nvme 256 This mainboard BIOS-POSTs fine without that Nvme SSD, boots fine with another NVME SSD, boots fine with a SATA Cable SSD or Harddisk, but not this one NVME Western Digital NVME SSD. It just hangs in the BIOS screen, wehere you can choose to press a key to enter BIOS or the boot manager. The Western digital Nvme SSD works fine via USB case and in a nother PC, so the NVME SSD is fine. It must be a BIOS software bug. |

Sorr to hear @ESChestnut
Most likely now, very very possible last conclusion it is defective dead or arrival DOA, please plug the Crucial_P3_1TB into another computer to check. |

Hi cx5!
Sadly, my PC still stays frozen even after disabling CMS. I also tried keeping CMS on while disabling Legacy and UEFI only for the PXE and Storage opROM Policies. I'm not sure what else to try. |

Hello @ESChestnut
OK, let's see if I understand correctly. Old OK state was: - A) Sata_SSD_1_brand_A_capacity_X in socket sata_1 with OS windows version ??? B) Sata_SSD_2_brand_B_capacity_Y in socket sata_2 without OS just for data C) M.2 socket is not occupied I suspect MBR partition type is used in A) is this true? please confirm back. See MBR vs. GPT = https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/mbr-vs-gpt-whats-the-difference-between-an-mbr-partition-and-a-gpt-partition-solved/#:~:text=As%20MBR%20is%20older%2C%20it's,is%20starting%20to%20catch%20up. MBR vs. GPT is important because there's a BOOT setting that calls for only GPT - and will not boot MBR (i.e. your old Sata_SSD), -- which I suspect your NVMe_SSD_3_Crucial_P3_1TB in socket M.2 is GPT. --- but no, if you've not even managed to boot, hence not yet format the P3_1TB, hence no yet have GPT nor MBR???? please confirm back. In order to boot GPT partition format, must disable CSM something something or NO legacy something something, forgot what exactly sorry, it's one of those things when you look at the UEFI you'll know ah ha that one.... Hence when you >remove A) Sata_SSD_1_brand_A_capacity_X in socket sata_1 with OS windows version ??? and >remove B) Sata_SSD_2_brand_B_capacity_Y in socket sata_2 without OS just for data and >plug_in C) M.2 socket alone wtih NVMe_SSD_3_Crucial_P3_1TB it cannot boot .... ---- but no, wait, if you've not even managed to boot once with C), means you haven't even transfer OS from A) to C) hmmmmm, MBR or GPT worst case is can't boot, ----- but UEFI bios will show the Crucial_P3_1TB exists....... -------- and the problem is you can't even enter UEFI bios with it ....... possible last conclusion it is defective dead or arrival DOA, please plug the Crucial_P3_1TB into another computer to check. |

When I plug in my Crucial P3, whether my SATA SSD is plugged in or not, my PC is stuck at the motherboard logo screen. But when it is not plugged in, my computer works perfectly fine.

Hello,
Good to hear your keyboard is working and able to enter BIOS. Previously sounded like you can't enter bios after adding 3rd SSD = Crucial P3 1TB No idea what's going on your side. May be if you tell more accurately what you plug in and what not plug in, your description is quite confusing. |
