+3.3V +12V rail voltage problems

Okay, here's my problem. With two different monitoring programs (PC Wizard 2005 and SpeedFan 4.24) my +3.3V reads 1.60V and my +12V reads 5.78V - 6.07V. I've tried two different power supplies and they both read the same thing. Although, both power supplies read dead-on when installed on a different computer in my house. I've also tried plugging my computer in at the same place the other computer is plugged in at so I have absolutly no idea what's going on.
Here's the specs since I know you'll all want them:
AMD Athlon 2600+
EPoX 8RDA3I Pro mobo
768MB DDR PC2700 RAM
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9550 256MB
Western Digital Caviar 80GB HD
Sony DVD±RW DRU-510A DVD Burner
Sony CD±RW CRX160E CD Burner

Oh, and just so you're aware, on one Power Supply, my +5V reads 4.96V and on the one I currently have installed, it reads +5.01V - +5.07V Thanks in advance for any help I may recieve.
 
Your best bet is to take a multimeter and test the rails yourself. Reporting programs, and even the bios can be way off...
 
Well, I would like to do this except for the fact that we don't own a multimeter and with myself being a high school student with no job and shipping out for Boot in August, I can't afford one at the moment.
