Default Computer Power Supply PSU Test

Hi, I bought a part that I thought would fix my computer, but it didn't. I now beleive the problem is the power supply. I was wondering before I spend money to buy a power supply, is there anyway I can test to see if the power supply is actually working correctly?

Technically you really need to have a multi meter to test a PSU, but this quick pdf guide will show you how to run a basic test.

If the PSU does nothing, then you have a dead psu and you need to hope that the psu hasn`t taken any of your valuable components with it when it failed.

Regards Howard.
