I just put my new PC together and I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my XPG-SX8200 M.2 Nvme gen3x4 SSD, but I can not get the BIOS to detect my M.2 drive at all. I have tried putting in a different M.2 to see if I got a dead one (samsung970evo M.2) and it wouldn't detect it either so I think it's a board issue. I've already messaged support but while I wait I thought I'd try here for help.
-Im running stock BIOS the board came with (P1.50)
-I tried the step-by-step guides out there and created a uefi bootable usb, disabled CSM in BIOS, booted windows and windows can't see the M.2 either.
-I can't find any driver support downloads
-I know the drive needs to be in the bottom M.2_2 slot because of my 28 lane 6800k
-I have no other drives plugged in. Just the single M.2 NVMe I want to install win10 on.
- BIOS system browser shows all my new components except for the M.2 drives.
I don't see any settings in the BIOS related to NVMe, and I don't see anywhere to enable the m.2 slots. I am at a complete loss here and I could really use some help.

I just sent my board off to Asrock RMA department. Hopefully I get a return board that will recognize the m.2 slots. Wish me luck
