How to use multimeter to check PSU

[Abbas_Dhd]

Hello,
So I want toto check if my PSU is okay.
And I do have a multimeter.
So while checking do I have to check each connecter or just 24 pin connector will do.

And


If all voltages are okay then does that mean my psu is okay?

Because I'm suffering ramdom crash while playing games

So let's say I tested PSU and all voltage ratings are proper, does that mean that PSU is fine and do not have any problems..

No, it just means the PSU isn't completely shot. It does not tell you what the PSU might do under a load, only what it does when it is not under a load.

I would download and install HWinfo. Then open HWinfo and choose "Sensors only". Scroll down to the system voltages in the sensor window and take a screenshot of the 3v, 5v and 12v sensors WHILE running something demanding like the Heaven benchmark, Furmark or Prime95. Post screenshots here.
