The values are all out of whack. I don't know if this is normal or not.

Or at least look at them in the BIOS. Windows utilities don't always get the correct readings.

It wouldn't power on if the 12v rail was really on -4.272.

Your settings are probably wrong or it can't read the outputs correctly. Use a digital multimeter to read the rails directly.

No no no no no, this happens all the time. The sensors are wrong. I once saw someone's 12v readout somewhere in the millions. He was going to invest in a nuclear power station before he asked in a forum and was put on the right track.

Yes, it doesn't report the voltages accurately.
