Help identify color coded resistors

abdolah:
Thanks for the reply
The resistors are from PC PSU , brand EVGA , model nex650G
abdolah:
You mean gray not silver, because silver is only for tolerance
 So what about the resistor that start with gray?
Wallace Gasiewicz:
I do not recall seeing any resistors with a Black first band,,,,apparently there are some , but you never know what colors change over time         
I would use this calculator from Mouser:     

https://www.mouser.com/technical-resources/conversion-calculators/resistor-color-code-calculator/     

If the values are very low, your ohmeter may not give you a correct value...I do not know what meter you are using..also the "exploded view" indicates a small value wire wound resistor....I would think any inductor (choke) in a power supply would have many more windings.   
Almost always both wire wound resistors and chokes fail "Open" not shorted.   

Edit: silver can also be a multiplier
abdolah:
I tried the calculator and it gave me the same that they should but not what they measure as , also I don't know why one of the resistors start with silver , you might say it's gray but it looks like silver , I'm so confused about should I replace them or not and with what?
Wallace Gasiewicz:
Yes, it does look like silver....Confusing
