I am having major problems with my system (doesn't start). I'm trying to diagnose whether the problem is with the PSU, motherboard, or CPU.
I've tried to diagnose with the breadboard test (all components removed except 1 stick of RAM, CPU and cooler) and no go. CoolerMaster SilentPro M1000 watt PSU fan didn't fire up, a solid red LED on the motherboard only.
I used the paperclip test on the PSU. With the papeclip in place, the PSU fan fired up. If that enough to rule out the PSU as the culprit, or could it still be the cause of my big problem?
