WTF?
Problem description: My EVGA 1080 GTX SC is not recognized after updating the BIOS on my MSI B450M Mortar motherboard (using MSI's Dragon utility).

Attempted fixes: I tried clearing the CMOS both by shorting the pins and by removing the battery for ~30 seconds. I have also tried re-seating the GPU.

Recent changes: I updated the BIOS because I noticed an m.2 SSD that I'd switched to the second slot wasn't showing up in Windows or the BIOS.

--

Operating system: Windows 11. I think pro, but maybe educational (can't check right now, of course).

System specs:
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
  • Motherboard: MSI B450M Mortar
  • GPU: EVGA 1080 GTX SC
  • Memory: 2x Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16 GB 3200MHz
  • PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 G+.
  • Hard Drives: Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe, Crucial MX500 m.2 drive (not sure if SATA or NVMe; this is the one that isn't detected), Samsung Ev0 840 SSD, Samsung HDD.

Location: USA?

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

I used MSI's flashback port + button to install the latest BIOS and now I'm back to a working machine.
