Hi Guys

Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have a metre to measure but I did try
and remove the other devices to see the difference, but there was none. The
HDD and CD + DVD drive have been replaced within the last 2 weeks. This was
happening before then. The readings in the BIOS are simalar to the Hadware
Doctor. I currently only have 1 HDD attached which is a 160gb SATA 8MB cache,
I also would like to attach another in the future but am i right in saying
thats out of the question?? or should I look at a new PSU. They readings are
as follows.

LL = Low Limit - HL= High Limit
+3.3V..... LL3.00 - HL3.50. This reading jumps between 3.34 & 3.36

+5V .....LL4.50 - HL 5.50. Steady @ 5.11

+12V.....LL11.00 - HL 13.00. This jumps between 11.04 & 10.50, quiet a
difference and not meeting the 12V.

-12V.....LL -14.00 - HL -11.0. This jumps between -11.78 & -11.86

again thanks for your help

Ted

How far out is the BIOS reading from the real reading?
50% + ? Please advise.

Voltages measured by BIOS are not accurate. Either confirm
those voltage readings with a 3.5 digit multimeter, OR
calibrate the BIOS meter with a 3.5 digit meter.

The power supply should be more than sufficient. But the
devil is in the details. A power supply with more than enough
overall wattage may provide insufficient current on one
voltage output. Again, this is why multimeter is required.
