So, I bought the ASUS Maximus Impact VII board, with the idea to obtain an M.2 SSD board in the future.
The day has come, but as usual, something has to go wrong and it isn't being detected. I've trolled the forums, and what I have done so far is:
+ Set the Secure boot from "Windows UEFI" to "Other OS". And when I have tried to disable the "CSM" to disabled, the system boots, but I get no visual onscreen, even when I plug the HDMI in the MoBo port. I have confirmed the Video Card is UEFI compliant.
+I have tried setting all the settings in CSM to UEFI, but when I select the UEFI USB to boot windows, it just keeps boucing back into BIOS.
+ Unplugged and re-plugged the board. Have checked that the Bluetooth and the Wireless hardware works on the PCIe Comobo IV drive work. Maybe the M.2 plug was DOA? I have no other way to test either the SSD or the M.2 port to see which could be faulty.
+ What I will be trying later today, is using a different monitor to boot with CSM disabled, as it could be the screen I am using isn't compatible, but I fint that believe.
Happy to get feedback from anyone that has had a similar experience, and can shed some advice, before I pursue an RMA on the board.
Cheers guys!
