Question Blank Screen After Installing PCIe NVME SSD

[Juniper Mucius]

I just got an NVMe SSD today and installed it. Here's the weird thing, when installed my screen is just blank. But the computer boots. To the point I can hear the Windows 11 startup tune. But neither monitor displays anything and act as if there is no signal.

I took the SSD out and did not get a blank screen.

System Specs:
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X-570-Plus (Wifi)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
RAM: 32 GB DDR4
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor (16 CPUs) ~3.8GHz

The card I'm attempting to install: Crucial P3 Plus 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe m.2 SSD

Edit: I was installing in the bottom slot with the heat sink, if that matters? The top slot was a pain to get to because my GPU is over top of it as well.

Re-seat your GPU. Likely dislodged while installing the SSD.

Oh, I should have said this, I'm sorry.

What other storage devices do you have installed?

You should remove your GPU and install in the other slot to see if that makes a difference. Pop the GPU back in and give it a go.

Computer boots, but I don't see the drive listed.

Okay so it shows up in the bios, but not seeing it in Windows.

Edit: Nevermind! I got it figured out. I saw another thing about this, and saw where I needed to format and allocate it. I got it all set up! I can't believe it was as simple as putting it in the top slot!

Thank you!

My pleasure. Have fun!

I had a similar experience with a different X570 Asus motherboard, that my nephew now has. That was where the recommendation came from.
