Core Voltate? Help :(

[mjr727]

Im not too familiar with much of the technical stuff, I know enough to do what I have so far which was order a AMD TBird 1400 and a asus A7V-133. got the 133 Ram and all. Have about 3 fans running in the thing. But I am crashing all the time. the processor is not over clocked at all. Im running at about 50 to 58¤. On my Hardware Monitor it says my Core Voltage is at 1.79 and its in the red. When its at 1.8 it goes back to normal status.
It never gets above 1.81v for the core. Im assuming this means since it goes red in the lower numbers that its not getting enough power. Is this true? and Could it be the cause of my frequent crashing.

First of all, the resident program with the ASUS boards, ASUS Probe, is known to report temps as much as 10C higher than actual. That being said as long as you keep the temperature "as reported by the ASUS Probe" under the upper 50's, that should not be an issue.

You may not have an adequate power supply, it may be straining to sustain current neccessary to provide stable voltages with the power hungry 1.4 T-BIRD.

Post more information about your system, hsf, psu etc.
