I've had BIOS/HWMonitor read 10V instead of 12V on a perfectly good PSU. The only good way is to get a multimeter.

Possibly bad PSU caps or a bad PSU solder joint. With a random shutdown, likely.

Ok guys, i managed to get a "new" computer because my gtx 580 stopped working, i changed everything BUT the psu and memory ram. This has to be a PSU problem right? i mean, i have a gtx 970 now and i cant run heaven for more then 10seconds. I made this video on HWMonitor but i dont think it gives much information right? I should be getting a new PSU soon, i just want to show you guys this to make sure... I also had a friend tell me it could be memory timing, is that a possibility?

Failing in only 3 years or 4.5 years is typical if the ambient temps are real high. Or low quality PSU caps.
And a PSU with mediocre caps in a warm room, you will be lucky to get 6 years.
Can you see bulging secondary PSU caps through the fan hole?

Did you set the memory timings manually by the rated specs?
What are the CPU and GPU temps when the crash happens?
How old is that PSU?
What happens when the crash occurs? Straight to power off? System freezes, but stays powered on?

I didnt do anything with the memory timings, they are the way they always were.
CPU Temp was 30-35C
GPU Temp was 32C
PSU is old, 4 to 5 years.
When the crash occurs the screen goes black i get a power save mode on my monitor and nothing else. I hear the music playing on the background and everything, if im on skype it keeps the call completly normal, its just the video that goes black, then i have to manually restart the pc.
*It USED to crash and come back, with the kernel error but its not doing that anymore.

Sounds like GPU, as the sound keeps going.
When you got the new parts, did you reinstall Windows?
Please host pictures on the forum, some of us can't see external hosts on company internet.

In the XMP column of the screenshot you posted.
Also, same question as before, did you reinstall Windows when you received the new parts?

oh, i didnt do that. speed is 1000mhz? and voltage 1.650V?
I managed to run thru heaven now, thats a start!!
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmx8gx3m2a1600c9
corsair page states 1600mhz but the screenshot says 1000mhz what should i use
edit: let me rephrase that, i ran heaven on basic, soon as i try to set to ultra and 1920x1200 it restarted again
edit2: ran heaven on 1920x1080 on high and rest normal and benchmarked it - 2085 points. good or bad?

Can you take a picture of the sticker on one of the sticks?
Based on CPUz the link to your memory should have been: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmx8gx3m2a2000c9
So, again, which nVidia driver are you running?
