CiT PSU for testing PC

So I built my first PC a few weeks ago, and it didn't work. I thought it was the RAM, replaced it, and it still didn't work. Now the issues pointing to the PSU. It looked like the previous owner had opened it up, but I thought nothing of it, and when I asked later on, he said he opened it to clean the fan inside. I was pretty disappointed since it was a Corsair VS450 for half the price it should be. 

I haven't been able to test if the PSU was the real issue, so I was wondering if it would be OK using a CiT PSU to see if it would install an OS, and do simple tasks, before I splash out on a brand new Corsair PSU?

How exactly it doesn't work?

It would turn on for a while, but it wouldn't boot to an OS, or an OS install disk and would start reloading the MoBo splash screen over and over again.. After maybe 10-15 minutes of trying, it would just continuously reload the splash screen, and I couldn't enter the settings, or change the boot sequence. I tried this around 5/6 times.
