Yikes, PSU tested good?
Wish I had a way to test it at the moment. Nothing on hand. Recommend any good testers?
Decent auto-ranging digital multimeter will test just about anything power related. Highly recommend, but using it is more involved (finding correct color for voltage, etc). After that, they have some time saving ATX cable testers you can get for cheap too (limited to ATX / whatever moulded cable ends it comes with - not future proof, not custom PSU connector compatible, also not server friendly in some cases.

Any $40+ multimeter will do, if you can splurge get a Fluke (I would make sweet love to my Fluke, it's saved my life before, they're several hundred bucks.)

I've got a decent multi-meter at the house. I will bring it in and see if I can't figure out how to confirm the correct voltages.

Best to test it while it's under load (actually running the computer) as this will make it work hard, possibly showing the fault (ex: 12v rail reading 12v while no load, 10v under load)
Cheat sheet:
To get the PSU to power up you can jump two pins, forget what they are but this will help with that and testing. Use a junk psu first, play around with it.

Just keep in mind testing with a multimeter doesn't check that the PSU is handling the amperage. or that the PSU is keeping voltage up under load (assuming you aren't measuring in line).

No, at my NP job. I'm just interning at NTG........at the moment. Maybe someday I will work for them.
I was teasing btw, it's just been a long few days.
