11.80 in bios
not the psu in my humble opinion.

Motherboard power circuit, MOSFETS.

what can I do? I have two fans exclusively aimed at the mobo?
could putting it in the vapo and thus taking away cpuheat change that?

11.80 in BIOS is volt-lines at idle
check them in windows when under load

Sticks some ram sinks there may stabilize voltage fluctuation a bit; cheap insurance after you check voltage in windows under load as Jmke said.

voltage under load = 11.20 as I said in first post.

I hate to say this Doc.

I have a 500 Watts PSU sitting here; and I don't even want to say the name; but it weights about 3 Lbs. It gives out 11.13 volt without OCing at idle.

I'm saving it for my next trip to the rifle range.

Mother board giving low voltage at times; but never this low based on my own experience, only.

By the way, double check with a multimeter if you have one.

Calantak , about the inet that is acting weird , do you have SP2 ?

Quote:

installed SP2 for XP yesterday and all went fine, booted up nicely, ran great, popped up with all the crap expected liek firewall and security thingie ala mcaffee so configured that as seemed logical, after that tried to connect to the internet, could dial in with me isp but that's about it, no traffic so something was blocking it

disabled the firewall in xp for both local area network and me dialup connection, killed the security thingie but still nothing.

soooo: killed both the firewall and security service and rebooted so afaik I had nothing running now that could possibly block it @ this point (had uninstalled kerio before installing sp2), no firewall and all sp2 bollocks disabled but still same story, could connect to my isp but no traffic whatsoever.
checked the config of me local area thingie and dialup and all was fine.
so, wondered if maybe my isp was miraculously having trouble @ teh exact same time that I installed sp2, unlikely but u never know.
rolled back with norton ghost to my last backup I made before installing and everything worked fine

so bottomline: SP2 kills me internet, even when the firewall and
other bollocks is disabled, any ideas anyone?

I have two systems running on SP2; not the problem.

Switch PSU and see what happens next.
