I think im having problems with my PSU, Im not sure if its a 300w thats needed for my overclocked AMD Athlon.
Ive been having random crashes/reboots so I thought Id check it out. I installed a mobo monitor and these are the stats:
Core 0 = 1.79V\__
Core 1 = 2.51V/ I dont know what core 1 is, it was just labeled like this
+3.3 is spot on at 3.30V
+5.00 is at 4.84V
+12.00 is at 12.34
-12.00 is at -12.85
and -5.00 is at -5.09.
So all the voltages except +5 are fine. Ive attached the log file so take a look see if you can shed some light on the matter...

Thanks

I think you hit it on the head there, it's probably your 5v line. As to what to do about it you can either get a better one or try to modify the current one. If you want to modify the current one crack it open and see if there are any adjustable resistors. If not then you better have a good footing in power supply operations or you're out of luck, if you do find adjustable resistors then you next need to find the relavent one and turn up the 5v line. If you even open the power supply make sure it's unplugged and left sitting for several hours to let the capacitors drain before opening it or you might kill yourself.
