Hello,
I recently bought some new parts to build a computer, I put everything together and the PSU fan wont turn on, the PSU I bought came with a tester (looks to be the same as the paperclip test) I plug it in and the fan spins for a second and turns off.

PSU is EVGA supernova 750b2
and the Mobo is a gigabyte z97x-SLI

all parts were bought yesterday in store so I would be able to exchange them for 14 days.

But does the fact that the fan only spins for the second when dong the paperclip test indicate anything about the PSU?

I brought it in and apparently they tested it at their location and it was able to run there, would there be any other reason why it would not work?

Any chance its the power switch on the computer case?
