I just bought a 9800 256mb Pro, and while I', running windoctor, It says that my -12v is going to 14volts or something.
And It's giving me a warning, do I have to set it higher? If I do can you tell me how to?

In other words now that I know, My -12v is showing 14.00 and my Windoctor alarm is going off. What do I do to fix it? Do I have to increase the voltage?

I think your power supply is too weak. You need a more powerful one.

Sounds right.....MBM is warning you of power spkies from a possible failing Power Supply.

is the -12v is fluctuating? not the 12v?

if it's the -12v line...then don't worry about it, just turn off the alarm...this line doesn't really matter and probably isn't measured properly anyway...

what power supply do you have? and what are your 3.3v, 5v, and 12v readings with a voltmeter? they should be no more than +/-3 to 5% off...

The -12v line is the one causing the trobel.
Everything else is working great
