7950x and MSI Ma Ace, first I got this to boot first time (amazing right!), updated BIOS to latest from 9/27 (worked fine no issues). Even booted into Acronis Recover PE (by accident). So all looked good.
Now everything went wrong.
First I have 2 NVMe drives a 980Pro (1TB) and an XPS (2TB), using slots 2 and 3 nothing worked. Using 1 and 3 only the drive in 1 is found, using 1 and 2 I was able to see both sometimes, but system liked to hang accessing NVMe, or on installing Windows drive would just disappear. So I removed the second drive, also removed the Intel NIC (wanted 3 ethernet ports), and video card. Figured good back to basics and work my way up.
Now it does not even boot I hang on 32 or 33 which is CPU post-memory init started or CP post-memory int - cache initialization.
So do I have a bad CPU, I mean it worked for about an hour, is it bad memory (same thing), or bad MB (never would handle 2 NVMe drives). I can not trouble shoot I have no extra parts to work with. Resetting BIOS has not helped either, tied that a few times already.
