I have a Crystal 500W power supply but...
I was watching the BIOS hardware monitor, and my 12V and 5V power monitor's turn red about every 2-3 seconds, with a volage of 10.5 and around 4, respectively. I know that's bad, but could it be the cause of all my troubles? What happens is that, when I'm booting up windows, or even just surfing the web or gaming, my computer will just stop responding. It's as if it's off, not sending out any signal (i've checked on a few monitors, it's not the monitor), but it's still on. Sometimes when I reboot, it says overclocking failed, while I was not overclocking. For the last three months (since I've built it), it has always had chronic stability problems, it would turn off about once a day. I brought it home for the holidays, and now I cant keep the damn thing on for more than a minute, if it even makes it to the windows screen.
