Question I just bought a new SSD and installed it now no signal on my monitor.

I just bought this SSD and I installed it today now I have no signal. I tried unplugging everything and I took out the ram and put it back in. This is the first thing I’ve ever done with the PC changing parts so I’m very lost On what to do or what I did wrong. It’s an ALIENWARE Aurora R12 and the SSD is the Samsung 990 pro with heat sink the power supply is 1k watts. I’m not to keen on computer stuff so I’m so lost honestly I was looking through other posts but am confused.

On my monitor it says no signal when I turned my computer on after installing everything.

Hummmm, that is strange. Get the SSD out, try it again to see if the problem remains or not.

okay, one more question, do you have to move the Graphic card before you can installing the M.2 SSD? If so, make sure you formly plug the Graphic card back! And please don't forget the power cable on the graphic card.

Yes, I did have to remove it. I made sure to hear the click but like I was saying I really don’t know if I’m doing it correctly is that the only thing I should be looking for just the click?

sometimes it's better to take it to a shop. When one has a lot of parts that can be tried, it makes it easier.
