Not Able To Get Video after installing an extra SSD

Ok so, I was running out of room on my current SSD, so i decided to get another SSD for extra storage. Well, after turning on the PC (bad mistake) and installing the new SSD, i turned the PC pack on and now I am unable to get any video whatsoever. I cannot even see to get into the BIOS to switch around the Boot Priority. I cannot even get power to my keyboard or mouse when using the MB's USB ports. It was all working perfectly until i installed the new SSD.

I have tried the following:

Resetting CMOS
Resetting BIOS (by moving the jumper pin)
disconnected ALL drives


My specs:

Windows 10 Pro
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 Motherboard
16GB RAM
AMD FX 8-core Processor
1100watt PSU

Was the px on when you installed the ssd in it ?
You should have your PC off and unplugged when installing any parts inside your pc's case.
Did you where a anti-static strap or ground yourself before you installed the ssd in your case ?
After the ssd was installed, did you go into the uefi/bios and load optimized defaults and then reapply any changes you had there prior to the ssd install and press F10 to save the settings so the new ssd was detected by your mother board ?
Did you put the new ssd in the correct sata port and leave your old ssd in the same sata port it was already in ?
All of that stuff is must do's.
If you did all that already did you try a different sta power cable and/or a different sata cable for the ssd ?
Either of those 2 cable's could very well be bad/non-working.
If it's none of that the new ssd could be defective.
PS: Make sure your original ssd with Windows on it is till #1 in the boot order, too.
Other than all of that, I'm out of suggestions.
Make sure you do and/or did all those thing's already.
Also, if your mother board has a m.2 ssd and that's what you had in your pc for the first ssd, don't use data port #1 0r #2 for the new ssd.
Put it in sata port #3, if the other ssd is a M.2 ssd.
If not then put the new ssd in sata port #2.

PC was off. I have done all tests. The PSU has gone bad. It was 8 years old. I inserted a much newer PSU (same one as before) and PC started just fine. I guess the PSU wasn't giving enough power to the Video Card.

Good to hear except for the psu going bad.

It sucks, but it happens! I'll be ordering the same exact one. . lol

Tip for you: Do yourself a favor and get a EVGA SuperNova psu. All of them come with a psu tester in the box.
You just plug the tester into the 24 pin power cable and then plug the psu into a wall outlet/surge suppressor, etc.
If I remember correctly if a light on the psu tester cable lights up the psu is good. If it doesn't it's bad.
That tester can be used on any future psu, too., so it's handy to get in the psu's box from EVGA.
All psu's should come with a psu tester in their box, but most don't.
They let you know if the psu is working, before you put it in your pc case and hook everything to it.
A EVGA SuperNova 750 watt or 850 watt psu should be fine for you.
Personally got the 1000 watt one and it's overkill for now, but will probably be handy down the road after my upcoming Ryzen 2 upgrade and then a better video card and a 4K monitor.
The Ryzen 2 upgrade is already in the process of.
The video card & 4K monitor are 2019 upgrades.
Possibly the last upgrade I'll be able to do myself due to medical issues getting worse, so I'm kind of in future-proofing mode on stuff that will last 5 or more years.

The PSU that i had was the Apevia 1100 watt Warlock.
