I went to the store to get an m.2 drive today...and when I went to turn on my computer...it didn't post...no image ot anything. (Was working perfectly fine earlier) and the powerbutton turns on the system...but doesn't turn it off. I have taken the drive out and still getting the issue. anyone can help ?

This!
Also, were you properly grounded? Sounds like you possibly shorted out the motherboard or knocked something loose when installing the M.2 drive.
Of course without further information I'm just taking a wild a$$ guess as to some possibilities.
Where is the M2 slot located on your motherboard? You might have hit something with your hand and loosened something up.
Regardless, we really need more information.

Helps to flip power supply back on , the system power button is useless without the power supply on. 
man i pictured it was a component that was knocked off the mobo and then i saw your respose , ahhh lets hope he just forgot the power supply switch is off, lol
