My new rig-
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Gigabyte Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
Gigabyte X570S AORUS Elite(rev 1.1)
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR 4400
WD Black SN850X NVMe M.2 2280 2TB
XPG Core Reactor 650-BKCUS
EK-AIO Basic 240
Powered up and installed OS but power cut out after about 45min. Switched PSU off/on power on and just hear a click with fans twitch. Plugged old Seagate 240W into just the MB and fans power up. Plugged the XPG back into just the MB still not working. Took my Seagate 650 from my current rig and plugged into new rig MB and now I have two fried PSUs. Moved Seagate 650 back to old rig, won't power up. Seagate 240 works on both rigs. How do I troubleshoot this? I can't afford to keep blowing PSUs at $100 a pop. What is it about the 650s that they would blow when the 240 has no problem? Thanks for any lead.

When I blew the Seasonic 750, I was using the same cables I have been using on the old rig for about 6 years now. Thanks for the suggestion though.
