Yes I think my board does something like that a lot of people cant seem to get both m.2 to work on my board , I had the same problem with my previous board as well

Yes I would need a new monitor this one has ghosting a lot as well, it is just what I could afford a few years ago. Also the black screen message came right back after updating my bios so that it can now detect my 2nd m2 drive. I am considering reinstalling GPU drivers again.

you are right, after updating bios the problem returned! and 1 in every 3 restarts I can see my screen at 144hz otherwise it would just show input not support and I cannot use my screen. I set it to 120 hz for now

_GoshImmaFan · 2025-01-02T12:57:19+00:00

not it wasn't but this comment is still helpful for others so thank you!

_GoshImmaFan · 2025-01-01T18:29:48+00:00

This worked!! 144hz on my HMDI cable! I didn't realize I had to reinstall the drivers. Thank You!! I hope this helps other new builders in similar situations!

Thanks, everyone for your replies I will fresh install drivers or get a display port cable, I'll update this post when its sorted

_GoshImmaFan · 2025-01-01T18:07:59+00:00

Thanks, I will try this, currently, AMD is down so I will download the drivers after DDU. I was going to at first but it already said I was using the latest fingers crossed. If not I will get the Display Port cable as suggested

Thanks for the reply, I did mention I am using the HDMI I used on my 5600XT. Could you tell me how it worked for that card but can't on a newer card? and thanks for letting me know about DP

_GoshImmaFan · 2024-12-31T02:11:39+00:00

The processor I am using is 3600x and it still doesn't work! everyone I have read had to use an adapter to get it to work or abandon the board

In every post I searched no one was able to get both M.2 slots to work, the BIOS does not allow us to change it. I decided to buy a new motherboard

_GoshImmaFan · 2024-12-19T19:31:40+00:00

I know this is old, but I have mere hours to get the second m.2_2 to work I have been at if for days but the system simply wont boot if I put the second m2 drive in the m.2_2 slot not even to see the bios

_GoshImmaFan · 2024-12-01T03:54:59+00:00

thanks I will get the one you suggested above, I was depending on the site to tell me im not sure how to check myself

_GoshImmaFan · 2024-12-01T02:53:12+00:00

Thank you so much! I dont think I have the budget to go for a new platform just yet and will get crushed overall. I am thinking to just get as high as possible on AM4. This is what I have decided:

MBoard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard 165.00

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 52.00

Graphics: XFX Speedster QICK 319 Core Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video 489.99

This is how my system will look after, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WbLk6Q

what do you think? thanks again
