My mom's rig (Compaq Presario SR1230NX) has been ailing for a while, and I think I figured out the problem (besides the lack of RAM and onboard video).
The PSU is crap. I'm not sure of the wattage, but I just checked the 12V rail and it's at 11.37 (that seems way too low). Here's what Speedfan says (I'm not folding right now; suspended on this rig pending some better fans).
vCore: 1.65v
+3v: 3.33
+5v: 5.12
+12v: 11.37
-12v: 1.31
-5v: 5.11
+5VSB: 5.40
VBAT: 3.30
What would people recommend? I'm considering a Bluestorm, pending Microcenter's stock and I also have to see if this board will take it. Board is an Asus A7V8X (I think so; Asus' website is being stupid). CPU-Z identifies it as "Kelut" with a VIA KM400 chipset.
