Have you got a multimeter so that you could measure the +12V voltages direct from a molex connector? If the voltages did drop that low I think the PC would possibly switch off.

What do you expect with a psu that costs as much as a couple of good meals? I found the output stats for that "650W"


650W Max output

+5V = 36A, +3.3V = 34A, +12V = 22A,

-5V =0.3A, -12V = 0.6A, +5VSB = 3.0A

Damn, I have a 5 year old Seasonic tornado 400W that gives 22A on the 12v

The PSU is junk, but there is no 10v rail, and the 12v would'nt be 7v, if it was you wouldn't boot.

I don't get why someone would go through the trouble to get a DS3 and a Q6600 and then pair it with a PSU that should be realistically rated at half of its claimed output. If you really have such a fetish for ATX 1.2 spec PSUs (-5v is a dead giveaway), you can buy the old Powerstream 520W for 70 bucks.

software readings are crap/ Use a DMM

Wow, my old Antec 550W had more power than that. Anyway, I'd recommend a new power supply. I have a Corsair 650W and it is really really good, 52A on the 12V rail A lot of people would recommend Corsair PSU's.
