PSU Burnout

T0AD

Yesterday my Corsair CX750M that I've had for a few years burned out. I went out and bought a new Corsair CX650M but I'm worried that the problem didn't just lie in the power supply. I upgraded my pc about a month ago to a Ryzen 5 2600 and a Mini ITX board from Asus. Is it possible that my new motherboard or any new components could cause this issue? Is there any way I can check without just waiting to see if it happens again?

You could maybe get something like a Kill A Watt energy monitor and see how much power is being drawn from the wall.  This gives you a bit of an idea if a component is drawing a ton of power.  We would need to know your entire system build to have an idea of what sort of power draw you could expect and if it exceeds that.
