You can use either a voltmeter or a power supply tester, to test the power supply. The power supply tester should come with its own instructions. If using a voltmeter/multimeter, disconnect all of the cables and wires leading from the power supply to other computer components, then turn the computer on. Check each of the connectors to see if it is providing the correct voltage out. If it's not, then you have a problem with the power supply.
If none of the connectors are providing any voltage, check the power coming in from the wall, and make sure the power cord is securely attached. Also check the switch on the back of the computer to make sure it is set for the correct voltage -- 110/115 or 220.
