I've been troubleshooting my pc here
I moved this specific question here as the power supply tag seems a lot more relevant. I'd like to test the psu itself now, as I'm guessing the short circuit protection is what's making it turn itself off (it's an FSP Hexa+ 500W). someone on that thread suggested me to power up the PSU only.
my question is if I bridge the green and black cables, either with another cable or a paperclip, what does it do? as far as I understand, it makes the PSU "think" that it's already turned on, so it'll start working. however, would it be able to shut itself off if the SCP or other protection methods cuts it, even if the paperclip/cable is still on the green and black cable? do I need to put off the paperclip/cable after bridging it?
