Junky Power Supply?

[Ishakir]

Hey guys,

Not quite sure why but all of a sudden I've been losing signal to the monitor and I've also been experiencing lock - ups. I posted this over at the video card forum and they thought that it was something wrong with my power supply. The pic below shows very low (?) 3.3 line readings. I have 4 80mm and 1 120mm fan connected to the computer, I'm not sure if that has any effect on anything. Just recently, whether by coincidence or something else, I lost signal the the monitor RIGHT when I pressed the eject key on my CD-ROM drive. Here's a pic from MBM5.

Thanks for the help

Have you set up MBM 5 so it recognizes your board? With your 3.3 line being that low it just doesn't seem right to me. Also your -12 and -5 lines aren't registering properly.

Take a peek at Hoot's sticky "How Good is your PSU" on the front. Gives you a meams to calculate how well you PSU is performing.

I think you should check in bios also to see if the readings from mbm is right. If it is i guess you should change your psu. Are you overclocking your system too? (that takes a lot of power)

mbm volt read out for the 3.3v is actually reading the 1.5v for agp. I know a few people that had mbm5 say 3.3 was at 1.5ish V. Hope this helps.
