Problem after installing M.2

[Sharrkan]

So i have b350-f Motherboard and decided to add an M.2 (970 EVO Plus) to my PC. I bought it. Pluged it in and now my OS will not launch. It goes straight to BIOS every time. What am i doing wrong.

Ok so i think what is happening it stopped reading my SSD which i have my OS on.
I have an hdd, ssd and now m.2. And it only sees hdd and m.2.

Edit: when i unplug m.2 its all good. No idea what to do

When an M.2 is added to the system the SSD sata connections 5/6 become unavailable as they use the same bandwidth as the M.2

When you use an M.2 SSD it shares bandwidth with SATA ports 5 and 6 according to the manual. So it might, to all intents and purposes disable your SSD. You need to try moving the sata connector to ports 1 through 4 and re testing. I imagine this will resolve the issue.

Have you checked the boot order in the BIOS? Likely it's preferring the M2 drive over the SSD.
