Screen turns black after installing an NVMe SSD.
Screen turns black after installing an NVMe SSD.
I've been improving my PC by adding new RAM, fixing some seating problems, and then replacing my two slow SSDs with a new NVMe SSD. After removing the GPU, I installed the NVMe drive and restarted the system. The screen went black, no output appeared, no error messages or beeps were heard. The fans were running, but the RGB on my keyboard was off and synced with software settings. Initially, I removed the SSD and it didn't work. I tried connecting the GPU to a different slot but had no success. I suspect static electricity might be the issue, as I've been handling my PC for years and touched the case to discharge charges. I can't use an integrated GPU because my CPU lacks that feature. This is the first time I've faced this problem, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s a summary of the system specifications, including the new SSD:
- Updated SSD inclusion
- Detailed hardware and performance metrics
- Compatibility information for the latest components
CPU R7 5800X RAM 2X16GB 3200MHZ Kingston FURY BEAST GPU ZOTAC 2060 MOBO ASUS X570-P SSD 1.2TB 500GB SanDisk plus HDD 3TB TOSHIBA PSU Seasonic 750W NVMe Samsung 980 1TB
It seems there might be some issues. Could you check if your CPU is properly seated? A misaligned heat sink or loose pins could cause problems with RAM stability and GPU detection.
