you have worked on ATX powersuplies befor right?

ok here is how to 'hotwire' an ATX powersupply

disconnect it from teh computer and plug it in the wall.

then take a paper clip (im being serius here) and in the large connector (the one that connects to the mother board) connect the green wire to the black wire. this will start the powersupply. if it starts up that means that the powersuply is functioning, next test the voltage level of each

um next what waht kind of wattage is teh powersupply rates at, it may be to low to handle the system, anythign less then 300 is pushing it, im running a 470 and it barly handles my beast.
