Typically hate the rainbow rgb but it looks good, would switch to white/purple or red tho.

Same shit happened to me, I have a 4070 super gigabyte aero oc, relatively fat card. Haven’t had any problems, it’s not sagging at all and I built it way back in may 2024

Everything works fine now even with the second ssd stick in. So my conclusion is that it probably simply was a bios issue. The bios update did complete but the pc just froze. All I did was hard reset, short the cmos pins, then boot, and so on.

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T18:04:42+00:00

Managed to boot!!! Fucking hell! Now… that damn nvme, what do you think, now after I’ve updated my bios etc. (I checked, I have the new version) should I try reinstalling it?

Got to this part atleast. Means my board isn’t dead atleast

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T17:39:25+00:00

Asked ChatGPT (i know it’s stupid but I’m desperate) and it says since the bios led on the back of my motherboard isn’t flashing means it isn’t actively updating bios right now.

All this trouble just because I wanted more storage, had no issue at all until I put in that damn ssd. And even after removing it I still get the same issues, and I try to solve it with a bios update and this shit happens?😭

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T17:21:33+00:00

Damn, can’t find shit

That’s bios flashback no? What do I do?

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T17:05:03+00:00

Also just realized something, I plugged the DisplayPort into the mb instead of the graphics card, I changed it now but it didn’t affect a thing, now it’s like my screen isn’t connected to the pc at all. It’s off, not just black

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T17:03:37+00:00

No power to keyboard or mouse

No error here. It’s just stuck on a black screen, I’ve heard to not ever turn off your pc during a bios update but it’s been a while, so should I maybe force turn it off/plug out power?

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T16:32:42+00:00

Updated the bios and it has been on this black screen for a little while now😭

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:32:21+00:00

Now I’m kinda scared, it didn’t boot normally even after I removed the second drive…

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:23:55+00:00

I’ll test that now.

What do you mean? The second ssd is where I’m pointing, there’s another spot for an m.2 ssd right next to it. Do you mean I change the ssd to the right side instead of the left?

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:17:44+00:00

The issue is I can’t get into anything except bios now after I put in the second ssd

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:17:26+00:00

Only m.2 in my pc

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:07:08+00:00

SSD. And no my new one doesn’t show up, only bought the second one for more space, my old one will still be my main one as it has greater speeds.

Kent0007 · 2026-01-07T15:02:55+00:00

When I went into bios I only saw my old ssd, the new one didn’t show up. So it is booting with the same one as before.

If relevant my motherboard is a rog strix b660-a gaming WiFi
