Voltage Question.

how do they get the Lipinzainers to dance? It's all a question of voltage. -- Gene Hackman, "Crimson Tide"

Sorry - I don't know the answer to your question but I couldn't resist.

<i>It's always the one thing you never suspected.</i>

Well, my system is stable and the temps are ok.
I have a "start" problem with my computer and I´m interested in knowing if the CPU is fed with to much voltage and hence it wont start imediatelly (some sort of protection or whatever?)
(Need to push startbutton - wait - push reset - disco)

Yeah, I know that one.
I read that article, could be the problem but I´m not sure.
If it is, I don´t want to mess around with the hardware anyway.
My question here is wether 1.79 is the voltage for the CPU, if that´s the case then it´s to high.

Thanks anyway!

Oh sorry, I rechecked my first post and suddenly realised that things might
be a little unclear.

When I talk about Vcore I mean the voltage levels you can see when the
computer posts, not the value you can alter in BIOS.
The CPU voltage level in BIOS is set to be 1.75V (as it should), If it really is 1.75V,
that´s another question. (I assumed that the 1.79V level
displayed during post might be what the CPU uses in reality, if so: not good.)

Don´t know if someone misunderstood, but I felt compelled to mention this
anyway.
