Hey guys,
These past couple days my computer has been acting very strangely. When i look at the PC healt in the BIOS screen, all my votlages are completely normal. However, when i go in to windows 2000 or windows XP, my voltages get all screwed up. It reads the cpu core correctly at 1.75, Core1 at 3.33V, the +3.3 at 2.9V, and +5.00 at 5.10V, and the 12V rail at 9.9V. There is qute a bit of instability as well. It crashes during games. I have tried multiple versions of MBM, so i dont thikn it is a MBM problem. Does anyone else have these kind of reading with the dragon ultra (black PCB)? I have a feeling that my powersupply is going out, i have the enermax431W p/s, and i have heard of people having problems with that model. Thanks for any help,

RYAN
 
I got the KT333 Dragon Ultra as well. All voltages in the BIOS show up as normal but in Win XP Pro the AGP voltage is 1.79 instead of 1.5. Everything else shows up as normal though. (I only tried the Soyo HW Monitor).
 
ok i just installed the H/W monitor for soyo as well, and it reads all normal voltages. So is this an issue with MBM? And what could be causing my games to hang? Should my first assumption be the video card?
 
I don't know. I just build this system a few days ago and I am having some problems with BSOD. Looks like I am going to upgrade the BIOS soon. Hope this will help ...
 
Hey Lars,
DO NOT flash to the "overclocked" BIOS. I switched to that to see if it would fix the problem, and it didnt, and it was a real pain to flash it back. I had to flash to the kvxb_2aa1 file first before going back to the kvxb_2aa2 BIOS.. It sucked hard.
 
Thanks for the tip! I was going to upgrade from kvxb_2aa1 to kvxb_2aa2 though. Looks like I still got the first revision.

By the way, do you know if the temperature reading of this board is accurate?
