So i have been having pc issues and i tested my power supply with a multimeter but when i tried shorting the wires to think that it is on nothing happened, the fan never turned on. the original issue was that my computer was randomly shutting down and now i cant get it to turn on for more then a second. All the fans would start and then immediately stop. Is my power supply dead? it is a corsair HX750 its barely a month old.

It's possible. Could also be the motherboard. But try a different power supply first.

You could try this test with a fan.

By no means is it conclusive.

Dissappointing but it does happen.
I'll guess you'll have to contact Corsair to start the rma procedure.
Btw i have a HX-750 and it has been great going on 3yrs.
