Hi all... I have a build I did (TOTAL noob first timer), and am having all problems including multiple BSOD, internittant freezing, and screen flickering. I am sure that my problems with the build are related to settings rather than hardware issues, since I haven't any clue what settings/BIOS are appropriate. I have messed with everything over and over, including memory settings (BIOS) and running the memtests...Obviously I troll boards looking for the magic answer, and get a lot of conflicting information.

Anyway- I followed the advice I found with the problems I have, and used Sensorview to monitor my system. The temps are all fine, and always seem to be. Under voltages, the VcoreA is 1.39, +3.3 is 3.39, BUT THE +12 V IS ONLY RUNNING BETWEEN 3.31-4.4 volts!!

Am I crazy or reading this wrong? I have read that anything under 11.4 was bad. I hope I am misreading this, but I am now close to convinced that my system is messed up cuz of the PSU. Everyone I have asked advised me this PSU might be a problem for the system, but all reviews and info on this PSU lead me to believe there shouldnt be any problem.

Here is my build, and thanks for ANY help:

I would pull the power cord, remove and the battery. Press the power button for a second or two. Then wait a full 10 mins. put the battery back in and the power cord. and boot. If you get to windows. Check the display settings first. Make sure that you dont have the Hertz settings, make sure its set to whats recomended for your monitor. (useually 60htz) but depending on how new your monitor is could be anything.

Video,primary memory secondary memory,mother board,primary hard drive,secondary hard drive information all about these information is valuable.
Thank you
