Question NVME not being detected after installing new PSU. Any ideas?

[Raz_5_]

Hi, I just built my new rig and had to buy a better PSU.

MB: ASUS TUF X570 Plus WiFi
CPU: 5800x3d
GPU: 6950xt
PSU: Thermaltake 1200 80 Plus Platinum
Memory: Samsung EVO 980GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 36000 16x2

And once everything was good but installing the PSU caused my computer to boot into BIOS everytime. It also doesn't show my drive in BIOS.

I tried running it in CMS, I reinstalled the drive, I power cycled my PC, updated BIOS and tried to reinstall Windows but couldn't because no drive was detected. Any ideas?

You didn't reuse any power cables from old PSU, correct?

Nope, only used the cables that came with the PSU.

Was it a working PC before installing the PSU?

Yes, it ran perfectly fine. Well not perfectly, didn't have the power necessary to run the system optimally.. but everything ran, started up, upgraded to Windows 11, updated BIOS.

Test the other m.2 slot.

Test the other m.2 slot.

Will do. I'll get on that right now.

Test the other m.2 slot.

I installed the M.2 in the other slot and the system turned on when I pressed the power button however about 5 seconds later the entire system powered down, I didn't even get to the Asus Tuf logo. I believe my computer did that the first time as well but I thought it was supposed to do that. I'm starting to think otherwise now.

If you run out of stuff to try consider putting the old psu back in the pc.

Will do, I'll revert back to the old PSU once I do a little more research to what the problem could be, thank you for your help!

The NVME was just straight up dead. Don't know how it happened but that was all the case was.
