2018 Hardware Thread

April Creators Update messed up my Ryzen 1700X rig. Machine posts but won't load Windows. I can't even get a recovery USB to boot. This not good. I'm not positive but it may have toasted my M.2 SSD. I'll have to unplug it tonight and see if I can get the recovery USB to boot.

How could OS "Fry" a computer ?

I edited my post. Something with the update went haywire. Just checked and BIOS is not seeing my SSD.

I use Acronis. I have a clone on a 2.5" SSD as backup. I'll have to switch them out tonight.

Ouch! Hope your M.2 didn't get fried, or even worse. Keeping fingers crossed here.

Can you switch from AHCI to IRST(RAID) in BIOS on your board?(do not set up a raid, Just use IRST).
See if you can see your M.2 then.

Alright my PC is back up. Put in my backup drive and was able to get the M.2 to mount and cloned the backup drive to the M.2. Didn't lose anything important so that's good.

Just incase anyone missed this....
