Hello everyone, first post here on tom's hardware, found some helpful tip in the past here and like all the help people have got so decided to come here for help.
So here is my situation, My computer had a high +5V voltage output it was something like 5.49-5.68 and i would get warnings from AI Suite (i know that the sw is faulty) but the previous readings were from my BIOS. With those reading my computer would just shut down time to time whenever i was either playing a game or just surfing the web (youtube, facebook, twitch, etc). Then I talked to a friend and suggested that the PSU may be shot and not getting the watt needed for that, i had a 600W coolmax PSU bronze certified...thing wasn't a year old. There for i went and bought a 700W OCZ PSU 80 certified and installed it and my +5V line has not shown any warnings and on the BIOS is around 5.04.
But i have read a few things and someone said the problem overall may be my MOBO and that it may be damaged
Was wondering some input on this?
Hoping that the PSU swap out, which is working right now and no problems at all for the past week, is it and the MOBO is okay.
