Thought I was seeing things!!!

I just noticed as I was looking at temps through BIOS that all of a sudden the CPU Core Voltage for an instant went from 1.76 . to 3.XX something...it happened so fast that I couldn't see the total number. I have been sitting here watching it and it hasn't done it again. I thought I had seen something happen to this voltage once before. My system is stable with no problems other than this. Any ideas as to what this might be...a problem or just a glitch in the BIOS monitoring????

Hmmm I have no clue what happened but it fits ur avatar!

Hmmm... Sounds like the infamous instantaneous voltage mod to me. :D
Maybe it was an ant doing the electric polka on your voltage regulator.
That's wierd, but I wouldn't worry about unless you could repeat it reliably.

Oh the 'ol IIVM thing! I should have known! Don't think there are any ants...if there were they are cooked now. As far as repeating it...I don't think that would be something I would want to try.

Guess I will see what other ideas are offered.

Thanks!

my guess is its an electricial surge. they are quick, last onlly a few miliseconds

Yes...that is possible...if so...hope it isn't a sign of bad things to come.
