When you were replacing belt you have to physically spin each pulley and feel which is locking up. It could be the tensioner pulley, Idler pulley, water pump pulley (which I doubt), power steering pump.These are the accessory drives that cause it! The crank and cam pulley would not lock up. So check and apin each pulley and make sure theres no sharp edges
