A way of testing if either your motherboard or a component or your PSU works or not.
1) Bend a paper clip into a straight "U" shape
2) Find the 20/24 pin cable, it is normally the largest plug for the motherboard.
3) Find the green pin and black pin (pins 15 & 16) Green pin is normally 15 and black is 16.
4) Plug the "U"-shaped paperclip into both the 15 and 16 pins, so that it arches between the two.
5) Place the 20/24 pin cable in a place where it cannot be disturbed or shocked.
6) Plug in your PSU and turn it on.
If the fan spins, the PSU works as far as turning on. This is to cancel out the PSU as being bad.

Try the paperclip test before RMA'ing it to make sure it's not your motherboard causing the power issue.

Get the P.N.C. test mug.A school test doesn't prove any more than an IQ test about whether a kid is smart, no matter where they come from or what they look like. It's just a stupid fucking number, which is why it's a stupid thing to rally over.
Not everybody's goal in life is to have a high school test score when they grow up, so why would a kid having a high test score be important in the first place? It's not going to be the school's rules the kid will live by when they grow up, so rallying for schools to do more to improve a kid's test score is like rallying for schools to make a musician out of a kid that has no interest in being a musician, it's not a cause for rallying or protesting.

Get the Railed by a test mug.The Zain Test, locally originated in Durban, South Africa in the early 2000's by a group of school kids. Named after one of the guys in the group. It is the test of fidelity and loyalty of a guy's female partner.
Traditionally, a guy would ask another guy (The Zain of his friends), ie: the most charming or persuasive and successful in seducing women, to test his Girlfriend to see how faithful she is to said guy.
It has evolved since then and can also be a test to measure the promiscuity of a woman.

This test was formulated in kik groups as both a verification tool and to test one's sense of humor/to weed out bitch niggas. The test must be run by an approved and trained test giver to have any valid or accurate results.
