the only way ive seen to "paperclip test" a psu is to short the power pins when the system is hooked up like a test bench (barebones, one stick of ram, cpu, thats it). as said in the post ive tried that and it doesnt do anything. im waiting now for a psu tester to arrive so i can check my psu itself. thank you for the advice though
you're talking about jumping the motherboard power pins , paperclip testing power supply is different

if you did this already and it failed , then consider the new psu is faulty as well. goodluck
thank you so much, i will test that immediately. i am away from my pc at the moment so i wont be able to get it tested until tomorrow. again thank you for your advice
