Hi all. I've been away from home and my PC for a long while, and now looking forward getting back to gaming, etc. Been using my very fast work laptop all this time to run some games. Now that I am starting to use my PC again, I notice some stability problems. Any game I run after 10-20 mins the computer reboots, and also in windows, when doing tons of stuff at the same time (moving tons of files around, burning stuff) it can reboot like this. This PC has a few things: about 6 hard drives, 3 optical readers. Besides the on board IDE controller I have an external RAID IDE controller and a SCSI one. The video card fan, a 64Mb GForce 2 (which runs XIII well but I want to upgrade to run the latest games) is spinning slowly.
You can see a capture here of my CPU temps and voltages. What I am worried is the voltages: do I have too much stuff connected to this (cheap and old) supposedly 400W power supply? Is it failing? Too much load? On ocassions after the reboots the BIOS tells me there is a hard ware problem.
Should I try removing some HD's, changing the video card, see if the problems disappear?
Thanks all,
Juan Miguel Venturello
