So in short, since I am on mobile, I have broken a 550 watt and a 575 watt PSU. I bought the first
Two new Poster Supplies breaking

Oh, half of my post didn't even save. Anyways. Both of them are Logisys. The 575 watt is Quad Satas Sli ready ATX Support P4/P6/P8 Power supply. No model in sight. Not too sure about the 550 watt as well. When I plug both of them in, the motherboard lights up, and when I hit power, my motherboard Q-code flashes once and nothing happens. My GPU is a Radeon HD 6970. But it's not plugged in because of this problem. Using a different power supply works, but I want to know why these two don't work. My back up PSU doesn't support SATA, therefore I have no Hard drive and my computer is pointless.

System Power Supply Requirements for a single Radeon HD 6970
• AMD specifies a minimum of a 550 Watt or greater system power supply. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the system power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 38 Amps or greater
• the system power supply should also have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin and one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.
Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.
Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.
Logisys 575W (PS575XBK)
• OEM: ???
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 25 Amps <===== Grossly Insufficient
• two 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== Insufficient
• Modular Output Cables: No
• Meets Official Intel Haswell Compliance: No
• No 80 PLUS Efficiency Certification
• 1 Year Limited Warranty
Stop buying garbage power supplies.
Here are some examples of power supplies that will work:

Thanks for the help, I am clueless when it comes to buying power supplies. That'll teach me to look a bit more into items before I buy them. I am hoping to get a power supply really soon, as I need my computer for some college classes. Will this one work perhaps? I can easily pick it up the following day.
