Have a question concerning the +3.3v reading I am getting here with PC ALert.
The alarm keeps going off every time the voltage drops below 2.97 volts. All others look within normal, albiet a tad on the low side of normal. This is not adjustable in the BIOS. Any ideas as to what is causing this? PS is my first hunch, but this is a 3 month old Enlight 340w and I would hope it isn't going dead on me. What will happen if this stays at 2.9 volts?
Also, about three days ago my monitor started having diagonal lines like RFI was bleeding in somewhere. I checked the cables to make sure they were not wrapped around the power strip or anything odd. They were fine. Maybe a low voltage problem causing the video card to act up. I have ideas but nothing solid.
The BIOS also reads the same voltages.
*UPDATE*
I got it and that did the trick. - Thanks! All it took was a good 500W PSU to do the job.
