Welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums,
If you have a multimeter, the easiest way to test the PSU is by jumping the green and black wires on the 24 pin connector. That fools the PSU into thinking it's hooked up to a motherboard. Once the PSU is jumped (and can produce power) check the pins with a multimeter. Voltages should be close to the specified voltage for that pin. This link shows the pinout and corresponding voltages http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html and this shpows how to jump the green and black pins with a paperclip http://seasonicusa.com/RMABeta/JumpStart/JS.pdf (direct PDF link)
Hope it helps
