Hi,

this is my computer I've been using for 4 years now

http://www.imagecabin.com/files/2011/11/26/3223159873607f0f51d9897cc.bmp

this is like 5min after startup, obviously it looks wrong but my computer has been working fine for 4 years lol. could this be why one of the transistors blew up on my old graphics card? figured it was just duff. the temps on my replacement are 24°C at 1.25V which is a radeon HD4670 which I think is fine but I'm not knowlegable.

I want to reuse the parts on this comp. to build my bro a light use family machine. should I chuck the power supply? and get another fan?

Sry link didnt work basically it's reading 7.49 V on the +12V rail
and my temp is 111°C on one of the devices.
 
Regardless though your computer wouldn't work if it had 7.5V on the 12V rail. It also would probably should itself down should anything reach 111 centigrade. Try opening the side to see if it's ACTUALLY 111 C.

Aye well I have the side open and it seems ok, just wondering if it's the software I'm using that's wrong.
