No. You turn your system on, and while it's working, stick a multimeter
voltage probe in the back of the plug one non-black wire at a time to see if
the voltage matches any of the voltages on the sticker on the side of the
power supply. You try again when it acts up and see if any have changed. In
your case, more likely the video card is the problem than the power supply,
but you can't rule out either without some testing and/or parts swapping.
