Drivers & Software

Hello

I have had this problem for a month or two now where I am trying to install windows on a new m.2 nvme (Kingston KC3000 1TB)

The old m.2 was a Intel p660 2 TB and it got corrupted and didn't let me boot into windows anymore.

My gear is: Gigabyte x570 auros elite, AMD Ryzen 7 3700x, Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4.

The Rig has been working fine since I bought it 2 or 3 years ago until now. I have tried to install windows in Legacy and UEFI mode, having the m.2 in MBR and GPT.. Nothing works.

I have seen that many Intel processor users can download "Intel rapid storage technology" and it seems to fix the problem for alot of them. Is there something similar to download from AMD?

For working through installation issues it would probably be better to get help from https://www.tenforums.com/ or https://www.elevenforum.com/

Maybe your old drive was corrupted because your MB was defective. All modern boards support M.2 out of the box. No need for special drivers needed during inital setup of Windows. Your MB should recognize them and default Windows Setup drivers should recognize them. I suspect your chipset or motherboard to be the cause.

Both drives show up in bios no problem and I even bought a new mb (asus prime b550 plus) and it is the same problem there. Im starting to think microsoft is shipping out bad drivers or something lol. My laptop got bluescreen aswell and had to reinstall just a few days ago.

Both drives work no problem when using them in my m.2 nvme dock.

How do I check if the mb is defective?
