After my CX750M Corsair power supply died, I replaced it with an EVGA Supernova 750w G2 fully modular psu. My rig is now frying drives when I try to install a new one. I assume it's my motherboard, and have submitted an RMA for them to check out the situation, as well as submitting RMAs for the lost drives, etc. Could this be anything else? Could my CPU also be messed up?

Did you reuse all of the power supply cables that supply power to your drives from your old power supply. If you did that could be your problem. I have found that Corsair's cables are wired differently than cables from other companies. I fried a few drives myself and that is what I discovered the problem to be. Use only the cables that came with your new power supply to solve the problem.
