I'm trying to install an m.2 ssd into my son's computer. I have all other drives unplugged. When I have the ssd installed, the video won't work. If I take it out, it does.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Nevermind. Figured it out. There are two ports for m.2. If I put it in the one I had it in, it disables the slot for the video card.

I didn't even know there were two slots...or is it ports?

I guess I got lucky when I installed mine, did not have any issues with m2 drive and video card

Re: m.2 ssd installation
Not all motherboard have M.2 slots share the same pcie lane as the pcie slots. Some chipset has more lanes so the m.2 slots don't share with pcie slots.
Some M.2 slots share with some SATA ports when using SATA mode.
