Long story short new BIOS versions do not work ( lock up on splash ) with my M.2 Drive inserted .
The X370 and other AMD boards by Gigabyte have BIOS releases for Ryzen 3K . I have pre-ordered a 3900X and am in a quandary because I cannot run latest BIOS , therefore wont be able to upgrade the CPU
My M.2 is actually on Gigabyte's QVL SM951, however the QVL was created long, long before the latest BIOS updates . I have opened a ticket but have not been given a solution .
I guess the workaround would be to purchase a 'proven working' M.2 , or Gigabyte should send me a X570 or M.2 for giving me work ( potential cloning / moving data ) ?
