Inquiring minds need to know. This is a whole new experience for me. The last AMD build I ever did (not for myself) required an old Athlon. That was like maybe 7 years ago; but what with the latest developments in AMD's CPU architecture and Intel resting on their laurels I'd be crazy not to run with the obvious leader in the end user niche. BUT... I'm having issues. I feel like a complete noob and maybe I am. I just spent the last two days trying to get my Crossfire Hero VIII to acknowledge the fact that it even used SATA at all. I spent another day trying to get it to allow me to install an o/s. The BIOS reads like gibberish to me and AMD is beginning to renew my appreciation for Intel platforms very quickly. Alas, when one forks out about $2,000 on a build one does not easy give up. It's probably too early in the game (no pun intended) to RMA a motherboard and I wonder if the system board is really my problem or perhaps I've been an Intel fan boy for so long I'm clueless as to how to navigate an AMD BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.
Issue #1 - My BIOS on my Ryzen 7 3800x only wants to see my NVMe. I managed to get it to see my CD/DVD ROM drive but it is touch and go. Any other standard SATA drives such as standard SSDs and mechanical drives it seems to shun. Attempts to install on these prompts messages from Windows saying that a device is missing or a controller is missing or requires an update. I threw up my hands in surrender after it lost sight of my SSD again and attempted to install an operating system on NVMe.
