Hello All,

I used CPUID HWMonitor and PC Wizard 2010 to see the current +12V levels. They each indicate the voltage is about 1.34 - 1.47V. OCCT did not list +12V as an option to monitor.

I cannot believe that my computer could run with the +12V at this voltage. I realize using an actual voltmeter would be best, but getting one right now seems beyond my financial capabilities.

Anything else I can do to more accurately check the voltage?

All other voltages seem fine.

POWER SUPPLY: OCZ Game Extreme 600W

You should have a PC health or similar tab in your BIOS that reports voltages. You are right it would not be running if the +12 volts was that low.
