It seems that you have a different motherboard than I STFW, above: Onboard Graphics 1 x DVI-D port, support a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60Hz12 1 x HDMI 2.0b with HDR port, supports a maximum resolution of 4K @60Hz123 Only support when using Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD® Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics/ Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics processors Maximum shared memory of 2048 MB Graphics specifications may vary depending on the CPU installed. Slots 1 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E1) 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD® Ryzen™ processors support x16 speed Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD® Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics processors support x8 speed Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics processor supports x4 speed 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 slot (PCI_E4, supports x4 mode)1 3 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots1 PCI_E4 will run x2 speed when installing devices in PCI_E2/ PCI_E3 slot. Please confirm the motherboard URL, above, or post the correct one. While you are at it -- please confirm the NIC URL, above, or post the correct one. >> If you connect the Windows SSD to the first SATA port and connect the >> NIC to each motherboard PCIe slot in turn, does CMOS setup see the NIC >> for every slot?

My WAG is that there is a bug that involves the motherboard firmware, the NIC firmware, and/or the SSD firmware. I would pick one device and replace it.
