Hi

 

To check your power supply is OK or not you can follow the following steps:

-Check the AC cable is well connected or not.

-Check the on-off button of your power supply as well as the voltage switch.

-Check the 24 pin ATX pin on your motherboard is connected well. If all the cables are connected well then when you run your pc then the power lead on your motherboard will glow normally. If the lead is not glowing then it is not receiving power.

-Check the back of your PC that the fan of your power supply is running or not.

-Try to smell that is it seems like something burning, then it has problem.

-You can also try another power supply with your pc that your power supply is gone down or not.

Best of luck
