So AIDA64 reports a drop in the 12v rail to as low as 11.668v when running both AIDA's stability test and MSI Kombustor with anti-aliasing enabled.
I'm getting random lockups, followed by a reboot, while doing video encoding with avisynth, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after a couple hours, sometimes when it's almost finished. I also used to get these lockups when playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, forcing me to hard reboot.
Another weird thing is if I plug the pc off the wall for too long - hours -, once I plug it back in sometimes it won't start. I can push the power button dozens of times and nothing happens. Then I would wait for 15min~1h+ and it suddenly powered on. This has been happening for a couple years now, so I rarely plug it off.
Is it time for a new PSU?
