Since I don't know what skills the OP has got or maybe doesn't have ;).
Using a multimeter to measure voltage of a power source without load
most of the times doesn't show that a battery is empty or a power
supply is broken.

Issues start as soon as there is load, let alone that when turning on
a computer, this is a special situation, where load could be even more
important.
