Sup guys
So I bought a new psu today Corsair tx850m
Installed it (replaced older model with same w) and one of my drives died. Doesn't show up in bios or computer management no clicking starts up but doesn't sound like disc spinning.
Double checked I had all the psu wires plugged in correctly then I noticed a bunch of paste/glue? All over parts on the inside of psu (pic)
Could that of caused this issue? Any pointers on fixing issue?

That's glue and no, it does not cause drive damage in any way. Drives die eventually on their own.

That's not glue, that's something called silastic. It's silicone to provide support for larger components like capacitors from breaking loose in case of shocks/drops.
It's usually a sign of higher quality compared to cheap Chink shit that breaks if you look at it.
