I've had my 500w liberty for about two years and all seems well with it, i just bought a used nf4 ultra-d to replace the one i broke and once i hit the power button everything will turn on for like a second then will turn off, then about 30 seconds later everything will turn back on w/o me hitting the power button! :eek2:

after that i turn it on again and it stays on but all four of the debug leds stay on and even if i remove the ram/cpu it doesnt give me any error beeps. this is the same thing that was happening when i was trying to fix my previous motherboard. my father (an electrician) and i tested the PSU, while it was out of the case and only connected to a wall outlet the 24 pin connector would give a reading of 3v on one pin and 7v on another pin. thats all we got out of it. when the 24 pin and 4 pin (+12v) connectors were plugged in, all the +5v molex connectors gave the correct readings but we were unsure of the 2 +12v connectors since the leads from the multimeter wouldnt fit in there and we couldnt check the 24 pin connector.

what would be the best way to check to see if it is supplying enough power to the motherboard? (reminder, the system doesnt seem like it passes POST so i cant get into the BIOS)

Here is a post from HitandRun. In his sig he has psu testing link if it helps.

Don't read the actual post ... bad advice ... stick with tech
