I have an ASUS A7N8X Delux with an Antec LANBOY case which came with their SmartBlue powersupply(300W). My voltage every once in a while randomly jumps down to 5 volts from 12. My 3.3 volt line sometimes goes to 0.512. I am wondering why. I am not overclocking or anything.
I have a CPU fan, 2 case fans(the board only support one, so the other one is plugged into the power supply directly)and a power supply fan. I have one harddrive, a CDROM, and a disk drive. A basic system with 300W and I am getting these voltage drops. I am wondering if my power line in from my house is dropping and so the power supply drops and then I see the drop on my board. My computer has not gone off yet when these drops occur. My computer keeps on going. What could be causing this, and a even more important question, how do I debug something like this step by step.
One last thing is that I enabled the keyboard on function which sucks 1Amp or so according to the manual.
thanks for any pointers in debugging this problem.
thanks,
dean
