[SOLVED] After plugging in a v nand ssd (970 evo 128 GB) my display isn't working.

[BigGamerzz]

When I plug in my v nand ssd and boot my computer, my monitor isn't receiving any signals. When I remove it and turn my computer on again it works. Any ideas?

You're going to have to give us a LOT more info on this.

Full parts list of the whole system, please.
(And I don't think the 970 EVO ever came in 128GB size)

My bad, it's actually a XPG SX8000NP 128GB and not a samsung.

CPU: i5-8600k CPU 3.60 GHz
OS SSD: Samsung SSD EVO 500GB
GPU Nvidia GTX 1060 3gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370P D3
Ram: 24GB

With the XPG drive connected and you power up, what happens exactly?

And which specific 500GB Samsung is it?

All fans are spinning like normal and nothing seems to be any different except for the fact that my monitor isn't receiving any signals.

My 500GB Samsung SSD is the 850 evo.

What port is the 850 EVO in?
Use of the M.2 port almost certainly disables one or more SATA ports on the motherboard, preventing actual booting up.

Look in the user manual for this.

Interesting I didn't know about this. But even if it would disable the SATA port of my OS SSD, I should still be able to see the BIOS screen atleast right?

Probably.
But something is happening...

Try a different SATA port for the 850.

I've tried different SATA ports, even swapping to 2.0 and it still doesn't work. I assume the v nand ssd is broken, thanks for your help.

And that one being broken is a good possibility.

...
OS SSD: Samsung SSD EVO 500GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370P D3

According to Gigabyte Z370P D3 manual "SATA3 0" socket is shared with M.2 SSD socket "M2P_32G". If you wish to use both M.2 and SATA drives, plug SATA drive cable elsewhere. Eq. in sockets "SATA3 1" and above.

Gigabyte is really fussy about SSD compatibility. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370P-D3-rev-10/support#support-doc

Your XPG SX8000NP 128GB isn't even close to being on the list unless it's in a different language. Although, your Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD isn't on the list for yours or my mobo either and that's the one that was at half price a few days ago...I guess the list hasn't been updated. Bummer.
