okay your 3.3 is reading at 11.93, and your video card temp is 116 degrees. I think you have a bad PSU and video card, and possibly a damaged board, plus your processor is running way too hot at 124 degrees.

Rob, the 3.3volt reading obviously can't be right, or I wouldn't be typing this right now. Nowhere in that picture does it say my GPU is 116 degrees or that my CPU is 124 degrees...

However, I did notice that the 5v reads as 4.75, which is low. But from what I understand, GPU's run off the 12v line anyway... Either way, I'm not sure I trust this applications readings...

convert Celsius to Farenheit.

PC wizard has been very accurate when it reads voltages.

you can try running again after you reboot, if it reads the 3.3 at the same levels, then you have the issues I have stated.

UPDATE!!!

I just went to the store and picked up an Antec EarthWatt 500watt PSU. STILL GETTING THE SAME ERROR!!! Must be a problem with the GPU then... Damnit...

I think there's more to this than just a bad video card, for you to have 2 of them fail, means something else is causing this, too much to be a coincidence.

What else could it be?

heat is a very likely culprit with the temps I am seeing in your system. 120+F is very bad.
