As I post before, my athlon xp 1800+ system is pretty overheated. Now i found another strange thing: the +12V power on my board seems little bit higher, ASUS probe indicates it is always arround +13V, is that dangerous? it's caused by CPU or Mainboard?

check what it reports in the bios, dont trust that program, its not known for accuracy. if it is accurate, the problem is from the power supply, i would check it with a multimeter before you replace it though.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal
