    Some modern PSU's will start without load, but not very many.

    The people in -THIS- forum know what they are doing and make few mistakes.

      OK. I don't know it before. I will try again tonight.

        anything that will put some load on the PSU should do. even a 12V halogen light bulb or something like that.

        i usually use a couple old 2GB HDDs. If something goes wrong, nothing of value is lost..

          Ahh...I don't have old HDD. I will use 12V halogen instead.

          Thank for suggestion.

            Remember you need to put the bulb on the 5v rail not on the 12v.

                Not my experience but I don't dink with gutless wonders very often, they go straight to scrap.

                OP also posted +12v was at 10v and at least some of that may be that there is not enough amps on +5v to regulate properly.
                Need to see what +12v does when +5v has a real load.

                  Are you leaving the jumper in place or removing it after you make contact?
