Frys or microcenter for diagnostic test?

[stevowns]

So I finished my build however, the darn thing just wont boot. I went through all the troubleshooting on the forums such as resetting the cmos, using different ram, and making sure everything is plugged in correctly. The only thing I haven't tried was figuring out if the bios needs to be updated .. which I need another cpu for. So i'm planning on handing it over to either frys or microcenter in the LA area (tustin for microcenter) so they can figure it out since they have all the tools already. Which company do you think I should turn it into?

My Build:

i5 3570K
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
EVGA 660 Ti
Corsair TX750 PSU
Corsair Vengeance LP 1600mhz 2x8 16gb ram
Crucial M4 256gb SSD
CM Hyper 612 PWM
Asus DVD Burner Drive

Your motherboard has a Z77 chipset, it should be Ivy Bridge ready WITHOUT a BIOS update.

You can try that and see if your PSU will turn on or not solid way to test if it's a dead PSU or another piece of hardware.
