hey guys, i got a prob.
heres the deal...
i got a ASUS p5n32-e sli mobo. now after i had it for bout 3 months the voltages on the motherboard started to drop a little day by bay. for instance the 3.3v on the mobo when i got it was 3.3v but has been losing volts, bout 0.02v every week. till the point it is now 3.17v. same for the +12v. rest of the voltages seem to be uneffected.
now at first i left it alone untill the pc refused to boot. and i bought another psu(600W, the previous one was 500W). then everything returned to normal. but then the same voltage drops started to occur again. so i have just bought yet another psu this time a 650W coolermaster psu. (note the past 2 previous psu's where isonic psu's). but now the voltages are sitting where they were with 600w and still dropping!!!
i have satified myself now that it is not the psu which is at fault. but i have no idea what else the problem is. i can run games etc on the pc as it is now but i fear the pc is gona die again.
i havnt overclocked my pc at all.
and one wierd thing is that i rebuilt my pc (ie took mobo out case and re-assembled everything) and the voltages where back at 3.3v etc but then started to drop again!!! WTF!!!
my pc specs are:
intel Q6600
2gb OCZ RAM
XFX 8800gts 320mb
3 assorted sata HDD's
asus p5n32-e sli mobo
pls someone help
