I haven't gotten time to work on the PSU issue yet, but I did get a BSOD with a dump file last night. I'll attach it here, let me know if it helpsAttachment 42250
If my PSU is bad, I'm still not convinced it would be the source of this trouble. It started the day I put in the new motherboard in (which could have also been the day my PSU went south from moving it around I suppose). Also, It only reboots when sound is playing. Just today I had it reboot while watching a 10 sec video on facebook.
I did some digging on the PSU issue.
I plugged the PSU into the wall, then ran an extension cord from the other room to plug everything else into so the circuit would have as little as possible on it.
I pulled out my DVOM and checked one of the spare molex connectors in the case and came up with 12.25v. I wasn't sure where 3v and 5v could be accessed from. I then went into bios and got the following values from there:
CPU vcore 1.296
DramV 1.512
+3.3 3.34
+5 5.04
+12 12.312
rebotted the PC and started HWMonitor up and it's still showing low V across the board. I'm thinking HWMonitor is wrong? I have the side of the case open and while HWMonitor shows 8.12V I can put my DVOM on the molex and get 12.25.
As @essenbe stated, software cannot read those values properly.rebotted the PC and started HWMonitor up and it's still showing low V across the board. I'm thinking HWMonitor is wrong?
As I stated a few times, you can find those values in the BIOS, as you have figured outI wasn't sure where 3v and 5v could be accessed from
@axe0, is correct. BIOS is pretty accurate. To test it with your meter, this may help http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-voltage.html
I couldn't figure it out, but I knew it started when I installed the mobo. I warrantied the mobo through Gigabyte and it's been running strong for a week now.
thanks to everyone that helped!
Great, I'm glad you have it running right. Thanks for advising us the solution to your problem.
