After many problems involving different motherboards and finally getting my PC working again, I installed an NVMe drive (Samsung 980) to make things faster. However after doing so my PC won't boot at all. When I plug the power cable, all that happens is the Power led on the case starts blinking. I removed the NVMe drive but still all there is is that blinking led and nothing else. I could use your help...
Edit: here's a video of the flashing led

My build as it stands now:
- MSI B760 Gaming Plus WIFI
- 2x16GB DDR5 RAM
- 500 GB SSD
- 2x 1TB HDD
- GeForce 1060 6GB
- Corsair TX650W PSU

This device is quite old. The missing details about the case model and the card reader at the front are also concerning.

It should be around ten years old, and that's the situation. The issue involves Cooler Master, though I don't recall the exact model. Do you think it's related to the power supply unit? It was functioning properly just five minutes before I turned off the PC, opened it up, and installed the NVMe SSD...

Could you clarify if you're suggesting it might be the card reader?
