Agggghhhh I just bought a new Antec 430w power supply at best buy... my voltage ratings are the EXACT SAME on Speedfan. Vcore1: 1.65v Vcore2: 2.64v +3.3v: 3.14 +5v: 6.85 (constant) +12v: 11.5-.65 -12v: varies a lot, never -12, -10 at most -5v: -0-4-ish +5v: around 2-4 WHHHHYYYYYYYY?!?!??! I...

Excess AS5 on the cpu can cause system instability??? My PC has good and bad days now, running prime95 my 12V has dropped to 11.3-11.4ish..... uh oh?

I don't trust MBM or Speedfan for logging voltages. I put in a 300w temp power supply to test against my 430w normal one and logged the same 6.85v (5v) and 11.5ish (12v). The EXACT same numbers.... permanently. Yeah.

Aggghhhhh, I downloaded and ran this program and the exact same thing happened to me. I went from 55c to 75c on speedfan yet my processor did not work any harder than usual. What the bloody hell.

It's a new harddrive. The failsafes also don't help the problem, and every single driver in the system is as up to date as possible. note: the problem was happening on the old hard drive as well but i bought a new one just in case. it still happened.

New question: What if every hardware monitoring program you use shows multiple PSU's running off voltages? I put in two alternate ones recently and both showed 6.85v (constant) for the +5v and the -12 was never at -12 but closer to -4 or -5.

bump. anyone ever experience anything like this? I have redone all the BIOS changes I had before but it still crashes. I wonder if reloading the defaults, removing the 3rd party ethernet card and then disabling onboard ethernet/installing 3rd party again would fix it... probably not...

many thanks you all.

I'm tired of this POS gigabyte 7nf-rz I bought a month or two ago, I am positive the consistent freezes are due to it (something with the LAN) which I fixed but then stupidly reloaded the BIOS defaults. so recommend a new board for an Athlon XP 2200+ please.

thank you for replying. i did put in a d-link and it was ok UNTIL i reloaded optimized. i tried fail safe and it still froze. :(

I have a gigabyte 7nf-rz, Athlon XP 2200+, ATI Radeon 9600 pro, windows xp SP2 I've been having problems w/ my computer since I replaced mobo and processor, but I finally fixed them when I realized it was the built in network card on the mobo causing random system hangus... often in games. so...

oh i'd have to turn the TRAS# from 7 to 6 as well, missed that. i wish i knew what those acroynms meant, heh. i have never paid any attention to my ram besides the fact that it's pushed in tightly.

So I need to change the CAS# from 2.5 to 2.0 it appears so that it'll run at 133mhz (so says cpu-z i believe). time for some BIOS fiddling, eh? :) and only one stick (the 512, i also have a 256) says it will run at 133, the other says 166 for both CAS# settings if I read this correctly. would...

my fsb:dram is listed as 4:5, how would I go about changing it? I have an athlon xp 2200+ running on fsb 133, mobo is gigabyte 7nf-rz or is it not that big of a deal? I think in BIOS I have the RAM running under 'by spd' rather than auto or forced to a %.
