continual video card/voltage problems.

I posted earlier about my monitor shutting off during startup, and sometimes during gameplay. We switched out my video card and everything was working... the issue did not happen. This was after we reinstalled drivers for my messed up one, as well as flashed the BIOS. Now I put the messed up one back in and the problem is still occuring.

Now that we are pretty sure that it's the video card that has issues, I was prepared to buy a new one, but a bit worried. With my old motherboard (K8T Neo2) the voltages were all messed up. I replaced my 350w PSU with a 400w PSU and the voltages were still off. So then I RMAed my motherboard and got a fresh one. I recently installed the new mobo with the somewhat new 400w PSU and the voltages are still wrong. Here are the voltages as of now:

CPU: 2.40v
Aux: 3.15v
+3.3v: 0.53v
+5v: 5.03v
+12v: 11.43v
-12v: -0.02v
-5v: -1.28v
Standby: 4.56v
Battery: 3.52v

and my temperature for the CPU was at 21.5 C

Basically my big worry is that the voltages had fried my old mobo and my video card (9800 Pro), and that if I get a new video card it's just going to get fried again... and it will be an ongoing cycle.

What should I do?
 
In the BIOS the voltage is set to like 1.425 or so, so I have a feeling that it's misreading the voltage. 2.4 would like melt the processer and certainly wouldn't be running at 22 degrees celcius if it were the case.
