Hello,
I have just put a new build together with mostly newer parts and few older ones. While I am not the smartest person when it comes to building PCs, I can usually spend hours of googling to figure out a resolution. However I am having two issues I can not seem to figure out.
First When I power on, I do not see my motherboard splash screen that says "Press F2 to enter Bios". If left alone it does boot into Windows 10 with no issues. If I do press F2 during the boot I feel it goes to Bios settings but stays a black screen. My reasoning for this is when sitting at the black screen I can press ctrl+alt+del to restart system. I can sometimes get the splash screen and Bios setting screens to appear if I: Power down, turnoff/unplug PSU and short the pins that clear out CMOS settings.
Second I have a cheaper SanDisk x300 m2 in the M.2_1 and M.2_2 slots. The M.2_1 slot (one under the heatsink) gave no issues what so ever. It recognized the m.2 drive with no problem. The M.2_2 slot (one above GPU and below CPU) has been a problem. I read that I must change some settings in the Bios to be able to use this m.2 slot. However, any guide I have looked at for this process has not helped. Either the description or the screen shots of the Bios do not line up with what I see in my Bios.
I truly would appreciate any help. Please let me know if I should post any other information about my system. Also, if you think it might just be better to get on Asus live chat to try and resolve these issues.
