Question: Newly installed M.2 nmve led to computer crashing.
Question: Newly installed M.2 nmve led to computer crashing.
I assembled my first PC a few months ago, the only missing component was the SSD, so I ordered another one and completed the build. Everything functioned perfectly. Recently, we were struck by the hurricane and had to remove everything. While reassembling the house, I installed a second TB drive into the second M.2 slot. It seemed normal until I changed it to G and formatted the drive through disk management. After five minutes, the computer powered off smoothly. Now, when I try to turn it on, nothing happens except the RAM lights, and no fans or other components start up. I can’t access BIOS, and my monitor doesn’t recognize the PC. (I connected the HDMI instead of the graphics card, but nothing worked.) I removed the newly installed SSD without any effect. I attempted to move it to the second slot using Windows, but it didn’t work. I reinstalled it, but it returned to its original position. I’m trying not to panic and would really appreciate any advice.

You have an iGPU, connect to the motherboard's display output ports, then remove the discrete GPU from your build (while you're disconnected from the wall. See if that helps).
After that, try following this guide:

to flash the BIOS on your motherboard.
Moved thread from Storage section to Systems section.
If eliminating the second M.2 drive didn't resolve the problem, then the M.2 drive wasn't the cause. Take out the graphics card from the system. Attach the monitor to the video output on the motherboard. Install only one RAM module in slot A2. Restart the BIOS using the built-in jumper and attempt to boot your computer again.
Make sure the PSU's rocker switch is set to ON for the wall-out position, then follow the steps shown in the video above. You don't need the display out. Regarding the display, it seems the system didn't post without a discrete GPU—could you clarify the case make and model?
I didn't think so. I chose to remove and test the power supply. After trying to jump-start it by short-circuiting with a paper clip, the fan still didn't turn on.
It feels strange because my RAM RGB was visible on the motherboard but nothing else worked.
Could the PSU be faulty? Unless I'm making a mistake.
My model is a Montech King 95 Pro.
Would you suggest checking the warranty for the PSU? Thank you.
