+1  I always start with the P/S.  Well, unless I see something else
unrelated letting the smoke out.  Even then tho, a bad P/S can cause the
smoke to get out of something else too.  It's good advice all the way
around. 

Why not let the computer shop test the P/S?  If it blows up something of
theirs, it's bad.  ;-)
