PSU Voltage readings bad?

[Sam Byer]

Good Afternoon!

I am currently having some issues that I am trying to track down and may have limited the areas to look to the PSU or MOBO. I am not sure how to tell if my PSU is pushing out the correct voltage/wattage to power my system as a whole. It seems that on startup I cannot get through the BIOS without having to restart several times. I am currently running this PSU in my system. Here are a couple screenshots of HWinfo readouts as well as my speedfan readout. HWinfo, Speedfan. Also, this was my previous troubleshooting thread which started with troubleshooting the hard drive: Previous help thread. Can Anyone help point me in the right direction in reading my voltage values? Could this be a faulty PSU?

Other symptoms include:
-Slow boots
-Poor Graphics card performance
-overall laggy navigations( E.g. trying to access files in "My Computer" or "Control Panel")
-Most recently frequent BSODs
-Also had to system restore due to a corrupted OS that had a corrupt driver

you have two conflicting readings here.if you believe speedfan your psu is defective.if you believe hwmonitor its just fine.what does your bios say about voltages?

Please see the link here for my current BIOS readings. Looks the same as HWinfo.

Well, it seems that this isn't actually my issue. What would you have to say about this?

I still wouldn't trust a Sunbeam PSU to run my computer.

Seeing the reviews for it now I totally understand what you are saying. Even though it is a less-than-ideal PSU, do you think there is any other issues that jump out that could be causing my issues? Is it possible that its just a faulty MOBO as I have previously suspected? In the previous thread I opened, Solandri suggested I "give the motherboard a proper burial by sending it out on the water aboard a rowboat, light it aflame with a burning arrow, and buy a new system" after I had tried his methods. I am starting to think that the components are just failing overall at this point. Sad that the system is only 4 years old.

Could be , but you need a stable power supply before you can really check things out.

So, if I am understanding you correctly, even though the PSU has correct voltage outputs within tolerance, you still think I should try a different PSU option? Any further suggestions on what brand is decent/affordable rather than Sunbeam?

Give me a budget and I'll suggest a couple.

List your specs also.

around 100$ would be nice, less is nice too but I understand they can cost a bit.
