Now, let's get down to business. To test your PSU, you'll need to get familiar with its specs and ratings. Check your PSU's manual or manufacturer's website to see what its wattage and voltage ratings are – and make sure they match up with your computer's needs.
Next, it's time to get a little hands-on. Unplug your computer, and take a peek at the PSU itself. Check for any visible signs of damage, like burn marks or frayed cables. If you notice anything dodgy, it's probably time to replace your PSU pronto!
But, if everything looks ship-shape, it's time to move on to the next step. You'll need to stress test your PSU using a tool like Prime95 or OCCT. These programs will push your computer to its limits, and help you see if your PSU is struggling to keep up. Just be careful not to overheat your computer – we don't want any meltdowns!
