Trying to update my BIOS from A60 to the latest because I'm seeing TPM_WMI errors in Windows Event logs :-

When I upgrade to 7E59v2AA0 (which includes the latest AGESA 1.3.0.0), my Corsair Force MP510 Gen3 1Tb boot drive goes missing and my PC will only boot to BIOS. I can only see my Samsung and Sabrent NVMe Gen4 2Tb drives. I've tried setting the M2_4 NVMe socket (where the boot drive is located) to PCIe Gen3 but no difference. Flashing back to 7E59v2A60 and it works again as before.

I've tried the previous 7E59v2A95 BIOS release which although initially saw the drive in its boot list, as soon as I set EXPO and PBO to do a -13 undervolt, the drive disappeared again. Ended up having to flash back to A60.

Anyone any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot further as I'm out of ideas and so is ChatGPT.

Hi. No, its not listed, nor are my other two drives that also continue to work flawlessly on both this board and its predecessor the x870 Tomahawk. As I said, the drive works perfectly on the A60 release, just not on later releases.

Yeah, I had this last summer with my 970evo m.2 drive. lucky for me it's only a game install drive and not for the os. This problem persisted throughout several bios updates to the point on some boots it was detected and sometimes not. Eventually it got fixed and I'm now on the bios from last december. The drive works flawless to this day so it's a bios issue alright.
Just stick to the bios that works. All these monthly bios updates is just asking for trouble imo.

Please report this to MSI. It's a clear regression. MSI does not read this forum hence why I am urging to report it.

And yet we do, and make MSI aware of problems like this.
We just dont all ways mention it till we hear back from MSI.

Thank you for pointing that out. I know that you and others are in contact with MSI behind the scenes and it is something that I and presumably many others are very happy with. If my post came across as offending, unappreciative or otherwise unpleasant I do apologize because that was not my intention.

Please stay on A60 most times; there is no need to update the bios on AMD systems
I'm still on AGESA 1.2.0.3-E

Thanks for the advice Eric. The only reason I was wanting to upgrade was because of the secure boot certificates which are out of date on the A60 according to Windows
