   I connected a brand new Asus Tuf 850W PSU to an ASUS motherboard with   
   just the processor and heatsink installed, in a MIDI Tower case.   
      
   The PSU was not in the case.   
      
   Switched on and...   
      
   Nothing happened.   
      
   I detached the PSU and attached a small tester to it.   
   Powered on ...   
      
   No sign of life.   
      
   What can cause a PSU to die under those conditions?   
   Surely it has inbuilt protection against overload.
