Subject: NVME SSD not detected after Ryzen 3900x swap
Posted: 22 Sep 2019 at 6:45pm
I have Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac with Ryzen 5 2400G.
And oh boy, running Linux on it has been such a pain in the ass. When I got it a year ago it crashed daily. It has improved over time but it still freezes form time to time.
So, obviously I update BIOS whenever new versions come out with newer AMD AGESA versions.
From the BIOS side everything was fine up until Bios V5.30.
Then I skipped 5.60 and updated to 5.70 today and then sh*t hit the fan.
After update it got stuck in POST screen (graphical one). After waiting for a while (~5 minutes) I did restart with CRL+ALT+DEL but it did not help. I power cycled it and then after being stuck on the POST screen for a few minutes I got into BIOS settings.
Once I got into BIOS I noticed that nvme drive doesn't show up anymore.
I did reset CMOS and got nvme back in the list of devices.
But now the problem is that unless I power cycle, I can't get past the POST screen. I disabled graphical logo POST and I see that when it gets stuck, on the bottom right corner it stays at A0.
Then after power cycling it shows 99 and EFI boot loader appears and system boots fine.
The problem is that I can't reboot my system. I have to shut down and turn it back on manually.
I would try updating to 6.00 but it says that it is not recommended for old Ryzen users. WTF!?
And it also says that I can't downgrade my bios version. This is probably the first and last time I try ASRRock products.
