"Sparking sounds", "PC crashes" and "all fans ramp up and RGB turns on" are three completely different and often unrelated issues.  Can you PLEASE walk us through exactly what's happening and what the problem is?

Call me a "boomer", but what's a "quest 2"?

 

Oculus Quest 2?  So everything works fine until you plug in your Oculus Quest 2?  Only the Oculus Quest 2 creates problems and nothing else?

How?  BSOD?

So it actually restarts?  Shuts down?  Restarts to what? BIOS screen?  Windows?  Nothing?

And....???  How are the fans plugged in?  Into the PSU?  A fan hub?  The motherboard?  What RGB turns on?  The motherboard?  The RAM?  The fans?

Crackling like what?  Someone crushing a piece of plastic wrap?

Thread cleaned. If you're not going to help don't post.

Do you have a different power supply you could test the system with? That way you can test to see if replacing the PSU is actually going to solve the problem or not before spending $100+ on a new PSU or waiting for RMA. In your recent post two weeks ago you said you had an EVGA P2 750W PSU, do you still have that PSU? You could swap that in to this system and see if you still have issues, just make sure you don't use the cables from the Corsair PSU with the EVGA PSU as they're not compatible.
