Low Board Voltages

[a_killjoy]

I have a Nvidia motherboard, NF24-ALH, which has started to misbehave in that it crashes and then is difficult to reboot.

Running HDOCTOR reports that the 3.3v and the battery voltages are low and dropping. As I assume that these are not unrelated problems has anyone any idea as to their cause and where is the onboard battery located?

many thanks

John

Sorry I don't know anything about this board but bad voltags can be caused by failing power supplies.

Have you smelled anything funny lately like burned plastic or electronics?

Do you have a friend from whom u can borrow a PSU (Power Supply Unit) to test if the source of the problems comes from there?

More background information might be useful. Did you add any components lately? What is the rating of your PSU? What components does your computer have?

The loving are the daring!

Dont take one programs word for it. Look at your voltages in BIOS and maybe Everquest or MBM5. The symptoms that you are describing certainly could be a PSU issue.

False Alarm, the trouble was a loose power connector on the MOBo

Thanks anyway

Is it an enermax psu?. They seem to have got a batch of bad connectors.
