Does it have to do with Ohms or something as to why I get an overload when using one pair of speakers or even when I use a dual speaker setup with those CS-R580 speakers?

based on this and your first post, how old is the receiver, are you the only owner of it and when was the last time it worked properly?

has this ever happened before with any other speakers or did it start with the new wire/speakers/connectors?

are the speakers you have connected beyond the rating of the receiver and how loud do you play it?

also, how long does it take to get the receiver to the "overloaded" condition and does it get hot to the touch when it gets there?
