PSU Keeps dying

[NoelGz]

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

Did you buy the Vertex GX new when you bought new parts?
Did you change out all the power cables from the previous PSU`?

Yes, both psu's were new and I changed the cables

Hmm alright.  Having two top of the line PSU's fry itself makes me think that its not the PSU itself and that the problem is elsewhere.

What surprises me the most is that they both magically died overnight after working perfectly the first day, I'm thinking about buying an ups, I haven't had any electrical problems with any other device yet but I want to try to rule it out.

Any chance of insects crawling into the PSU overnight?
