So my 1 year warranty just ran out on my Dell G7 7590 about 2 weeks ago and today I had quite the scare. After updating the BIOS using SupportAssist, my laptop had the error message on the boot SupportAssist saying there were no bootable devices found.
Upon further inspection through boot menus I found that my SSD boot drive was not showing up. I tried resetting settings to last know good settings and the BIOS default but neither of those worked to bring my computer back from the dead. Finally, I unplugged all peripherals except for the power cable and an ethernet jack and it booted just fine.
I'm posting this because I want to know if anyone else has run into this kind of problem and know what the real problem might be. Thanks in advance!
You have a bad boot drive. that's why it isn't detected.

Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!
It is happening intermittently to me after I upgraded the SSD from SATA to NVME, not sure how to solve it, I've tried several BIOS configs (Including changing the BOOT to UEFI), and keeps happening.

Hi, you might have better luck posting this in the Inspiron forums as it suits that laptop build type better.
