Are my voltages correct??

[yasitha2]

Following is a snapshot of hardware monitor. It shows abnormal voltages. Is it correct?

Or Is it due to an bios bug?

Following is my system specification

MB Intel DG41RQ
CPU Q8400 core2quad
Ram 3GB
HDD hitachi 7200 sata 160GB
Two DVD writers
VGA on-board accelerator

What type of PSU are you using?

Well if I read it right, your 12v and 5v are way off. I'm surprised that your system is running at all with those "supposed" voltages. I'm with Jack, what PSU are you using??

 

[yasitha2]

I am not sure about the PSU. But I checked voltages in the bios setup ardware monitor.
In it 12V is 12.1XXV
and 5V is 5.12XV

so I think the software value are different because of a bios bug. what do you think?

You open up the side panel and read the PSU. They all have giant labels...

Are you having any problems with the PC??

 

[yasitha2]

PSU is a 450W one.
Yep, I plugged in a 8500GT VGA card and started random freezings when playing games.

An 8500 gt doesn't even use a PCI-e power connector, so either your mobo doesn't like it or your PSU can't handle the extra load. What is the make and model of the PSU??

Im impressed that it got your 3.3V rail correct, there are no good voltage monitoring software that i have found, and HW Monitor certainly isnt accurate when it comes to voltage readings, currently its reading my +12V as 6.59V, it generally reads it as somewhere around there, however BIOS and a DMM both agree that it is right around 12V.

There are only two good ways to check voltage, and only one way to know that they are accurate, check your voltage readings in BIOS, its the easiest and is fairly accurate, if you want to know that you have accurate readings use a digital multimeter to check.

I know one thing for sure! If that were the right voltage readings the computer would be gone up in smoke! Trust your BIOS readings.

I'd second BIOS readings. HWMonitor gives me near matching readings of my BIOS, but I've read a lot of people aren't so lucky. I'm wondering what's going on with the 8500 though, could be telltale or a completely different issue altogether. Still, what's the make and model of the PSU?

There are various methods for conveying this info to windows and windows programs, my guess is that Windows isn't reading the particular chip quite well.

my system hangs while playing any video/games after installing the drivers of 9500GT and its a very new system. i donno the root cause of it. i have checked the 9500GT grap card with the service center and it works fine." please suggest any solution for this problem
