I just installed a new 1TB M.2 SSD (PCIe 3.0 Kootion) in my PC, but now when I try to turn it on, it powers up with all the fans running, but I get no video output. My keyboard isn't lighting up either. I've even removed the SSD and tried to start it again, but I still have the same issue. Can anyone explain what's going on?

If your motherboard is a budget model, like the Asrock H H410M you mentioned, it might not have those diagnostic LEDs. In that case, make sure everything is properly seated and connected, especially the RAM and GPU. Sometimes, a loose connection can prevent the system from booting up correctly. Also, check if there's any visible damage to the motherboard.
It sounds like your motherboard might have some diagnostic LEDs that could help identify the issue during the POST process. Many newer motherboards include these indicators, and some even have small LCD screens that show error codes for troubleshooting. You might want to check your motherboard's manual to see if it has any diagnostic features that you can use.
