Sounds like a bad PSU to me. An easy check would be to use a voltmeter to check the 5V line. Seasonic is a great company, but that doesn't mean every PSU is perfect.

The only other way I could see a way to raise the 5V line would be to connect it to the 12V line. But if that was the case, then the 12V line would be pulled down to the same voltage (and the PSU probably would have exploded or shut down)

It is very possible that the 12V is shorting to the 5V line. but it looks like the PSU may be screwed up.

nvm the bsod, it was the harddisk, now i can boot but and everything works fine, just that the speedfan shows me 9.64V
on the 5v railing(picture added)and no, i cant change the voltage, it just changed to this from no reason...any ideas? and is it ok for the PC to work on this kind of volts?
and how to check the volts on the connection? take out the 4pin connecting and connect it to a voltmeter?
Thanks
