No BSoD or something? Nothing at all? No Fans spinning? no Lights glowing? Nothing at all?
Clip testing is good to test dead PSU's. But it's not really recommended as most faulty PSU shows spinning fans.
If you have no power, please check your power connections especially from the inside the one connecting your PSU to the board. Then also check the power cables outside if it's working, faulty or not (better use a new one). And the outlet, do not forget sometimes it's a faulty outlet.
If it has no power at all then the problem is the power. If it's not the cords and power connections then most likely it's the PSU. Try borrowing a working PSU or by bringing yours to the nearest tech shop so they can try it on a different PC.
To support everything, please check out for these symptoms and come back to me:
Signs and symptoms of a faulty PSU:
- tripping electricity
- tripping board anti surge protection indicating PSU
- tripping AVR
- electric shock everywhere (from case to monitor)
- dimming lights when PSU/PC is turned on.
- unusual fan/led lights behaviour
- boot loop, no boot, no signal, boot occassionally
- static and wavy monitor
- freezing computer|
- persisting hard drive corruption even when fixed
- system slow down
- BSoD
- popping sound
- burning plastic smell
- smoke
- flash of light from the PSU
- unusual PSU power plug electric spark when plugged in the outlet.
NOTE: These symptoms can be long term or instantaneous. Most of the time it's slow moving indicating a slowly deteriorating PSU.
