ehhe.. I've had all kinds of issues w/ my PC lately, and I blamed them on a defective mobo. Granted the mobo was screwed up, the replacement mobo has shown similar issues. Eventually, the damn thing comletely died. Push the power button, no response. So, I pulled out my Enermax 365 PSU and tried using my Powerman 250 watt PSU, and bingo, it works. The new PSU is on its way. My system has a lot of mess in it (no, not the system in my sig

), and I thought you'd be amused by the voltage readings I'm getting from this little PSU...

1.76 (supposed to be 1.82)
3.26
4.8
11.5

I've not played any games, etc., but it hasn't crashed from general use.

How low can the voltages get before I gets serious?
