 RAM lights and fans and USB are 12v and 5v but that doesn't mean your 3.3v or negative rails are working.

You want to simulate the motherboard by jumping the green wire to a common pin (I think - double check) 

Make sure all the pins in the Pinout are giving proper voltage.

This runs the PSU without any load, to help see if it's a PSU problem or not.

Sometimes PSUs won't give a rail, or it's out of tolerance, or it can kill your components.
