Power supply question

A

I have an Enermax EG365P power supply. It's powering an AMD system (Iwill KK266, 1.4GHz TBird) and I've had some problems with warm boots failing. The case runs cool (< +2 above ambient) as does the cpu (max 42C, heavy load). Using MotherBoard Monitor 5 I logged all the voltages. I noticed that vCore (+5v) was running between +4.74 and +4.88 volts (typically closer to the lower number). The system is not heavily loaded with peripherals.

My questions are:
1 - is MBM5 reliable in measuring voltages or should I use a fluke to check it out?
2. could this low voltage be causing the warm boot problems?

Thanks,
-AJ


PS I've heard that some kt133a board have this problem anyway, some issue with the Via northbridge. Don't know how true that is, but several people mentioned it to me.
 
I have the same mobo with an Antec p303x with a 1GHz Athlon and my 5v reads at 1.81 with VIA Hardware Monitor.
