I have 2 M.2 SSDs with M+B keys and I installed them in my desktop with PCIE to M.2 cards, and my desktop won’t post.
Apparently these are SATA SSDs… Not both or just PCIE.
How can I fix this?
Motherboard is SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0, and there was an option for NVME in the BIOS.
You can’t use a SATA SSD in an NVMe M.2 slot. NVMe and SATA are different protocols and they don’t understand the other. Buy an NVMe drive instead, they’re usually only slightly more expensive (or even not at all). For the ones you already have, see if you can use some USB to M.2 adapter card to make them useful for you.
HTH!
They were only 16 & 64GB SSDs, but doesn’t really matter if I just took out my Northbridge.
Tried pulling power and CMOS battery for a good 5 mins? $10 says it works
Just so everyone is aware, the 990FX is an AM3+ chipset from ~2011 (bulldozer & piledriver).
I am shocked that there was even an option for NVME in the BIOS.

Here is the documentation for your motherboard, I wasn’t able to get it to load on my iPad though.
Yeah, they must have snuck it in one of the last BIOS updates. Anyways nothing is working for bringing it back online. There are no beeps, and no video output, so I think I killed the Northbridge.
There is no m.2 slot on that board according to the specs, are you sure you didn’t do something like add a PCIe SSD or PCIe?
Like people here already said, try a CMOS clear by removing the battery, and if this does not work a $500 AM4 system with an APU will run circles around that system regardless, so time to upgrade?
I used PCIE to M.2 cards.
I tried Clear RTC jumper and removed the battery twice, and still absolutly nothing.
I just ordered a Ryzen 7800X3D and X670 setup to swap in.
So, my monitors.dont have auto-input switching turned-on, and my system works…
Anyways, here is a picture of the UEFI that says NVME is supported.
