ASUS A7N8X Reboot issue PLEASE HELP

[ogar]

I recently have been having random reboots whenever I am playing a game ussually within 5 mntues of starting. I have tried running burning tests with sandra 2004 but everthing works fine then. the only issue I can find with anything is warning from Assus Monitor about my +3.3v being out of threshold. The voltage I am getting is 2.864. Could this be what is causeing the reboots and if so is there anyway to fix it or is my board screwed.

Thanks in advance to any help anyone can give

holy crap!!, that voltage is very unstable, why don't you better check out nforcehq.com (nforce2 specialized site) forums, they might have a good explanation and solve your problems. as my opinion concerns

R U OC'ing?, try loading the bios defaults
Check with a multimeter your PSU

The numbers from the monitoring software are certainly not gospel, but:

If the 3.3 is that low,
the power supply has to go!

Sorry, couldn't resist. What brand of power supply are we talking about here?

I find Asus Probe to be a real loose cannon. On the Asus boards I've had, it's sometimes gotten very wild readings. If you have a digital multimeter, confirm the 3.3V voltage at the ATX cable. Software = :roll:

Having said that... yeah, if the system's unstable, then let's hear about the power supply brand/model/wattage. Also, what is your system's ventilation setup like? Perhaps it's overheating.
