Hello,
My computer seems to randomly reboot. It does not BSOD, it just seems that the PSU cuts out and the computer restarts. I ran two utilities (HWiNFO and SpeedFan) as well as consulting the BIOS directly. They have all come back with the average voltage being 9.960V on the 12V rail.

I am running a EVGA nVidia GFX 680 and an intel i7 960 @ 3.2 (no overclocking on any component).

(here is a screengrab of the HWiNFO readout: http://imgur.com/50OPX6a )
Do the voltage numbers indicate the PSU is the culprit, or does it sound like something else?

Thanks so much for any feedback. This one has stumped me pretty good.

Hmm, I wouldn't think anything is wrong with your power supply. The voltages look fine. I would maybe look at other things as well maybe memtestx86 to test out your ram. Or possibly taking a look at your hard drive's to see if there are issues there. Your temps look fine as well to note. With your system you could power 2 of them on that power supply just about so beyond that I'd take a look at the other variables, graphics card, memory, hard drive.

Thanks for the quick response!

You mention checking the hard drives for any issues. I am running a Samsung 840 SSD (256GB) and a 2TB Western Digital RE4. Both are on the same controller (Intel, not Marvel). I did see some issues when they were each on different controllers, but putting them on one seemed to resolve the issue a while ago, and now it is back.

Do you have any suggestions for good HDD testing tools? I wish the thing would throw a BSOD so I could at least get a core memory dump, but alas. It snaps its fingers and it's off.

No problem man! I can see this being a frustrating issue to come across. Maybe try crystaldisk they show some pretty handy health info details.
