How to test a Cooler master power supply

Hi All,


How to test my Cooler master 500W power supply is working fine or not. As my motherboard turns on and off......please advice

nothing to do for testing...just replace your psu with a better psu like corsair ... seasonic...xfx etc
and take higher wattage psu depending of your gpu power requirement

Hard to answer your question without knowing all of your system components, unless you know how to use and have a voltmeter or an oscilloscope to check the different power lines going to the motherboard. Otherwise, as badboyrog mentioned, only other alternative would be to connect a known good PSU of sufficient wattage to run your build.

a 500W psu should be able to run your setup, are you sure everything is still plugged in and seated correctly (cables, cards, ram, etc.)?
