Really there's not unless you have expensive load testing machinery. I admit, I have a stack of PSU's here so getting another to test a problem is always easy for me.

And it seems like a running joke sometimes that I always suspect the PSU first in cases where abnormal stuff occurs but it's because half the time it is the PSU, sometimes the motherboard, rarely anything else.
 


 


 
I had every part on my pc checked no more than 3 weeks ago and the only faulty was the GPU so i replaced it motherboard was pretty good but i didnt ask about the PSU or not sure if they checked.
 
i had my pc checked because windows didnt boot and after the format i did there were "broken" graphics/picels all over the screen it turned out there was a problem with my old gpu
