    M.2 Drive vanished from PC, NVME Controller error. Wifi not working.


    Windows version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4412)

    Hello all, I have a ASRock > B450M/ac Mobo and I installed an M.2 drive in it last year and everything was great until last night. I installed a game to the drive through steam and then I could still see the drive but nothing would load from it. So I restarted my PC and it sat at the Bios screen for a long time. When it finally started the drive doesn't show up, I get this error in my device manager, and also when I try to connect to the internet through wifi at first it would connect to our cable modem but say "No internet" even though it was working fine on my phone and my brother's PC, now it just won't show any of the networks.

    I tried removing and re-installing the M.2 drive, but still have the same issue. I "seem" to be able to see it in the Bios, but I'm not 100% sure because my bios has this weird issue where it seems like the resolution is way too big so I can't see the entire screen. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you very kindly for your time,
    Hishighness.

    Its possible the CMOS battery is low and the bios has lost some settings put a new battery in and check settings

    Ok, thankfully my CMOS uses the same type of batteries as my glucose tester so I didn't have to go out to get a new one! I replaced it and that fixed the wifi issue, but the m.2 drive still doesn't show, and the bios still takes WAY longer on a restart than it did before. Also in my bios there doesn't even appear to be an option to enable an m.2 drive. I thought there was before.

    When I had my last issue I asked about my bios and they said not to update it.
    Using ASRock Mobo, Should I update my BIOS?

    Check motherboard manual M2 drives can be killed by disk settings if it's in the wrong mode if you have any other drive pull the power see if it boots then

    I don't see anything in the manual, just talks about how to install the drive. I've ordered an NVME USB enclosure from Amazon to check if the drive itself is kaput. If so it's under warranty, if it's the mobo I've been looking to upgrade it for a while so that might be the play.

    In any event thank you very kindly for your help!
