Is my PSU Causing my reboots? here are my power specs...

[jinduy]

I am running an 1800xp cpu with epox 8kha+ mobo, 2 hard drives(5400,7200), 1 plextor burner, floppy
My PSU is an antec 300w
My readings from speedfan(cpu monitor) shows this:

VCORE: 1.74V
+3.3V 1.50V
+5V 4.89V
+12V 12.28V
-12V 2.20V
-5V 0.58V
+5VSB 5.54V
VBAT 3.02V

Can any expert tell me if my readings are okay so that i'll know that it's probable that my psu is not causing my random restarts . It tends to also restart when i open a lot(4-5) of applications at the same time, like cuteftp.

Those readings are great except for the 3.3v. Are those load readings? Try maxing out your cpu with Prime95 and monitoring the voltages. In any case, it's likely your problem is the psu. Bumping vcore may be a temporary fix. LMK re: load voltages. If your 5v goes below 4.75, it's out of spec.

Im in the same boat.
I dont know if it's my PS, its a Enermax 330W PS.
My readings are:
3.3 = 3,26
+5 = 4,92-4,89
+12 = usually 12,40 but sometimes it goes from 12,10-12,65
-12 = -12,19
-5 = -5,34
VCore = 1,81

Running default FSB 133 Mhz, Athlon TB 1,33 Ghz. Can put default multipliers, or 10,5x, it always happen. Memos 256 mb PC2700 Mushkin. 1 HD Maxtor D740X.
Temps are fine, I put it to run Prime95 for 16 hrs, I can run everything, 3DMark, PCMark, Sandra, etc. It seems just random reboot. While using the computer.
Could it be my PS or HDD? Already lost one of this HDD last week.

Any help would be appreciated! TIA!
