Wish I could help you my friend, but I can't even open it. What is it doing or not doing ? Are you getting power errors ?

it's showing that the 12volt range is actually running at .7 volts.
Corn are you able to check in the system BIOS whether the 12v is running correctly & it is the software reporting incorrectly.
In some BIOS it will show the the voltage readings.

Not sure what you mean.
Outlets , connections?

System voltage.zip

Maybe you can see it in a winzip file.

Looks to me like one of your rails is toast.----How many watt is your power supply ?

Corn, you fixed this by rolling back your latest video driver correct? That's what I remmeber from ts.

That was a different issue.
I have problems when i play higher end games like CoDWaW and thought maybe this voltage problem caused my screen freezes.
Here is my power supply specs.

What I know about Power Supply's could fit inside a Corn Kernel. I'm looking to upgrade the one I have, but as of this moment, have no idea what to buy other than more watts than the 250 I have now.

I can't see the pic very well cause its to small but from what I can make out it looks like the software is for checking to see what your voltages are to the CPU, RAM and so on. When I get home and get on my main system I'll see if I can blow up the pic and go from there.

If you could give the full list of symptoms I might be able to help ya out more.

That would be great !
I think it has a tab at the top of the pic where you can enlarge.

Does the PC power up and run or what? If the PC powers up do you have trouble with your computer shutting down and restarting itself at random times? Also if your comfortable with using a digital multimeter and opening your case you can test one of the leads to see what your voltages are. Doing this is the best and most accurate why of seeing what the voltages are compared to using software as a lot of the time software will just estimate it.

If you have another PC that you can use and need some help doing the testing we can hook up some how and I can walk you through it while your doing the testing.

It does power up and run.
It only crashes when i am in a game and more often when i play CoDWaW.
When get home i'll get out the old Fluke79 tester and see what i have.

Sounds good. Make sure to check all 3 voltages the 12, 5 and 3.5 and record what each one test at.
