Motherboard Voltage Readings

I have an older computer that I use as a server. The specs are as follows:
Gigabtye GA-7DPXDW-P w/ dual Athlon MP 1200 processors
1GB Ram
DVD-ROM
Geforce MX400 graphics card
120GB and 160GB harddrives
Add-on USB 2.0 card
400W Seasonic Super Silencer PS

According to the bios and motherboard monitor I'm getting the following readings:
Case - 38C
CPU0 - 45C
CPU1 - 50C
Core0/1 - 1.71V
+3.3 - 3.14V
+5 - 4.81V
+12 - 11.86V
-12 - -12.77V
-5 - 3.55V

First, I'm assuming that the -12 and -5 readings are incorrect. What about the other voltages? Should I be concerned as long as the system is stable? I'm thinking the bios readings aren't 100% accurate.

Thanks...

Unfortunately, too many motherboard companies put too little time and effort into the reliability of onboard hardware monitoring. If you conclusively want to know, use a decent multimeter.
 
This is practically a brand new powersupply as it has hardly ever been used. I have a Enermax 400W laying around I could give a try, but I'm almost ready to agree with tcsenter. The computer is too stable for the powersupply to be crapping out. I can load the computer up with folding@home and it runs without problem.
