  1. Bought new M.2 SSD, PC will not boot while it's installed


    Some time ago I bought a pre-built PC make is PowerSpec. It came with an SSD already installed, but the motherboard an ASRock B450 Pro4 has one additional slot for an M.2 SSD it has an "Ultra M.2" sticker on it if that means anything. Today I bought another SSD to increase the amount of fast storage I can work with when installing games. However, when I install the SSD into the empty slot and turn on my computer, all that is displayed is a black screen with a logo. I can't access BIOS nor the UEFI menu. I have tried re-seating the drive multiple times - no change. Removing the new SSD al

  2. Why is my computer locking up on boot after installing M.2 SSD

    My brother suggested that I unplug the current SSD in my computer and leave the HDD drive alone. Install the M.2 SSD and boot into BIOS. He said the two SSD's might be causing a conflict and once the BIOS is allowed to identify the new M.2 SSD I should be able to plug the other one back in. Should I give that a shot?

  4. Bought new M.2 SSD, PC will not boot while it's installed

    Installed m.2 ssd into my computer and it booted but then I restarted it and now it won't boot to the BIOS or Windows

    I recently purchased a new NVME m.2 ssd for my PC. So I installed it no bother and then when I went to turn it on, everything booted normally and I was in windows. I noticed it didn't show up in the file explorer, so I decided to restart the pc and go to the bios but when I did, it beeps once when I turn it on but then doesn't boot to windows or the BIOS. I am quite confused with what the issue is.

    My PC specs are-

    • CPU- AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
    • MOBO- Asus PRIME A320M-K
    • GPU-ASUS AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT DUAL
    • RAM- Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2400MHz
    • HDD- Seagate 1TB Harddrive
    • New SSD- WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 SSD
    My monitor just stays black when I turn the PC on. I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
