Question PSU Keeps dying

Hi.

Recently I moved and after a while I reassembled my pc with some new parts, the same day that I assembled it everything worked correctly, i did several tests and played several games without problems but the next day when I got up and turned on the pc, I heard a spark and the pc did not turn on, after checking and testing the psu individually I realized that it was fried, I returned it and tried again with a new one (same model) and history repeated itself, the first day without problems but the next morning it was dead, I honestly do not know what is happening.

I don't know if it could be an electrical problem but it is also worth noting that I have it connected to this:
KOOSLA - Regleta para sobretensiones (4000 W/16 A), Regleta eléctrica con 6 Puertos USB y 12 enchufes, con 3 interruptores, Cable de 2 m, Color Negro : Amazon.es: Electrónica

I would appreciate any help

Specs:
- CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI
- RAM: 2x16gb DDR5
- GPU: RTX 4090
- PSU: Seasonic Vertex GX-1200
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Maybe have your PC hooked to a standalone wall outlet, that's properly grounded and then see if the issue persists. I doubt you'd end up with a batch of Seasonic units that were poorly made from the factory. You could test the latter theory by getting another branded, reliably built 1KW unit.

The weirdest thing is that something seems to happen while I sleep, since both were damaged the next day. I have not had any power outages or problems with other electrical appliances but I am thinking of buying a psu to try to rule it out.

or it happens while you turn it off? PSU's are expensive, if you know any electricians get your outlet and wiring checked to make certain there isn't anything at fault in your home wiring causing you power surges or something

if that's OK take it to a PC shop and ask them to do fault-finding, you don't want to blow up any more PSU's just testing it
