I had my amd opteron 165 for almost three years and now decided to upgrade to an i7. I was initially planning to use my previous PSU until i saw the readings on CPUID hardware monitor. I know that I shouldn't trust software readings so i decided to test it with my multimeter. So I followed the basic guide, putting the leads into yellow and ground when the computer is off. However, once i turn on my computer, it loads for a second then completely shuts off. I was not able to turn on the computer until I reseted the PSU. Did i short anything and why is my computer preventing me from using the multimeter?
