So I just opened up my computer case for the first time in a while, and I noticed that my 4 pin ATX at the top of my motherboard was unplugged at the PSU. I had a 1TB black drive, but when I plugged it in it caught fire so I sent it back and got a new one. Trying to avoid another fire, I haven't put it back in. Do you think that disconnected 4 pin might've been the cause for lighting drives on fire and can I plug in this drive again? If not, what do you think would cause something like that to happen, because this computer has fried four HDDs, but my SSD works perfectly fine.
 
PSU is ax860, what do you think would be causing that to happen then? My SSD is workin normally along with everything else, but HDDs seem to be a no go.
