I bought a Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W and it passed the paper clip test, but when I put it in the system, it just runs for like 1 second and all the fans spin but then shut off after 1 second. I know this is not a short or anything else in my other hardware because I tested a spare PSU when this happened and everything booted up fine.
So what I'm asking is, just because the PSU passes a paper clip test, that doesn't mean it's completely working right? because It turns on during the paper clip test but once in PC it boots up then shuts off.
