Hello all,
So I am the proud owner of a x570 Steel Legend. I recently upgraded from a b350 Tomahawk in lieu of the upcoming AMD Zen 3 Ryzen 4000 series; I want to be well prepared.
[Bragging not lagging] I am still rocking the legendary AMD Ryzen 2700x with a beefy Noctua NH-U12A cooler. I have some PNY 16GB RAM @ 3200Mhz. I have two NVME SSD's: 512GB Samsung 970 Evo for Windows 10 Pro 2004 and a 512GB XPG SX8200 Pro for Mac Hackintosh High Sierra; runs great. Thanks OpenCore. I have an EVGA Nvidia GTX 1080Ti SC2. The case is CoolerMaster H500; has two USB 3.0 and 2.0 on the top that I appreciate.
[The real issue] My system works pretty much flawlessly. I do not have any issues at all when running my system. Tinkering or playing games for hours or days! Once I move away from my system and the system goes to "sleep", I simply press the power button to "wake" the system up; pretty simple.
The 'issue' arises once I wake up my system. I began to notice that none of my SATA drives would wake up. Naturally, I went into the BIOS to see if settings can be changed. Updated the BIOS [which did not solve the issue and BROKE my Hackintosh because it removed the option to turn off CSM or "Windows 8.1/10" legacy modes -- so I reverted back to P2.60 that it shipped with].
I have four SATA hard drives. Two SSDs and two 3.5" HDDs. All have brand new SATA cables. I have a EVGA 600W 80+ PSU that powers all components perfectly without fail for days. The only issue is once they are sent to bed, "sleep", they do not wake up or are recognized by the operating systems until I perform a soft or hard restart/shutdown.

did you do a clean install of windows after swapping out motherboards?

Initially I did not because Windows still worked fine, but recently I have AMD updated to the latest 3.00 BIOS for this board. My board came installed with 2.60.
The issue persists.

well .. if windows was working fine, your SATA drives would be "waking up" properly .. try reinstalling latest chipset drivers from AMD.
Whenever swapping out major components .. ie .. motherboards .. similar or not .. best practice is to reinstall windows from scratch. (swapping to a similar board can be worse ..AM4 B350 to AM4 X570 as some features might get confused running off the same driver ..where as going from an AMD setup to Intel .. totally different and Windows will install totally different drivers for the different hardware instead of keep the same.)
