2 SSD's burned up and M.2 forgot all it's windows install - but why!?

Today I upgraded my PSU from a Seasonic prime titanium 650w to a EVGA P3 1200w, and my GPU from 5700x to 6900XT.

I started a DDU in safemode and selected it to shutdown when finished. I walked away for a few hours and when I came back the system was off as expected.

I pulled the computer out and replaced the PSU. I decided to use the old SATA pwr cables from the Seasonic since they're the same (was this my mistake?), I used the new mobo, GPU and CPU cables though.

I checked that everything was connected fine and reconnected all my stuff, but when I powered on I got a "no boot device" message, and that's when I smelled burning.

To make a long story short after some troubleshooting I found that my 2 SATA drives were burned up at the pwr connectors, and I had to completely reinstall windows. Repair wasn't an option.

My 2 HDD where all my important shit is stored are thankfully ok.

 

Did I do a dumb-dumb?

There's a short somewhere allowing for wall outlet power to go into and through the motherboard. Since it's likely you fried other components, I recommend replacing it with a new computer. But I'm thinking the PSU is bad, this can be checked with a volt meter to verify that the output is correct.

That's the problem. Pinouts between the power supply side and cables can differ, but not between the cable and component end.

Seems like everything is OK now, just played Cyberpunk on the new GPU. 
I hope that's the end of my problems 😳

Well everything is not OK. I'm getting lots of crashes in cyberpunk. Trying to run Prime95 now and I'm getting crashes.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 2.020321878e+10, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected running 960K FFT size, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected running 960K FFT size, consult stress.txt file.
FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected running 960K FFT size, consult stress.txt file.

 

Is my whole computer fucked?

 

Should I just start with replacing the MOBO and M.2 and hope everything else is OK?

The only way to know at this point is start replacing the clearly burned parts and slowly trouble shoot till the errors are gone. 

I love PC building and gaming. 
REMEMBER botttlenecks can happen at all points of a PC part. Make sure you are at equilibrium. For all parts unless you intend to upgrade at a later point. Also QA Tested AAA Games.

Problem solved! It was just an out of date BIOS?!
without known good parts to swap things in and out, I swallowed my pride and took my rig to a computer store. They told me it was just the bios. I'm a bit shocked since I didn't think my bios was that old and I didn't think it could cause that level of stability problems..., but sure enough everything is working great now.

Well that was a lucky thing 😺
