MBM5 voltage readouts

[DrMac]

I have a system: ECS KS75a, Duron 800, 768MB mem, 40Gb 7200 HD, cdrw, DVD, floppy and 32Meg DDR Radeon 7000.

I monitor temps, fanspeeds, and voltages with MBM. Mainly just to see if things seem OK. One time I had put on the HSF a bit crookedly, and i saw the CPU temp shoot up on starting, so I switched it off. Since then, I always check MBM before I proceed.

All of the readouts have been within tolerances, and very stable, until today. My +5.0V line normally had a readout of 4.91-4.88V, but today it was 2.03V??? I can't imagine that the computer would be stable actually running at 2V. Another aberration I previously noticed was that MBM was always reporting CPU useage at a level of 23% or greater, but at the same time CPUCool was reporting in the 3-4% range at idle.

Should I be worried? I don't have access to a meter, to verify these numbers.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It's still working, temps are fine, no lockups (btw digidoc5), either MBM5 is screwed up, or it's possible to run a computer at 2 Volts on a 5 Volt line

I don't think MBM5 measures voltages extremely accurately...atleast on my board. So that could be your problem as well....I think you'd have so stability issues at 2Volts lol

I suggest you uninstall mbm5 and install it again. A file or two in mbm5 might have gotten corrupted causing it to start misreading your voltage rails.
