The computer works by all means, although we did try to stard 3D Mark 06 on it without success (it just keeps on raving about collecting system information - we left it at that for two hours without success). I do not know if he tried any games since we put it together. Should we be worried?
 
Well if those voltage readings were even halfway accurate you'd have fried a lot of things already. There's clearly a problem, but whatever the issue is it's with the readings, not the actual voltage being supplied I would say.
 
This is what we thought .. probably someone forgot to put a comma somewhere in the software - I think we'll just ignore it 😛
