So, recently I've been having some issues with my PC. It's hard to describe exactly what though.
Recently, I've had the trouble with slow booting, which I originally thought was a RAM problem, but now I am not so sure.
Today, I had an issue where any time I would open something that needed admin permission, I would click "allow" and the screen would remain grey'd out, and the program would not open, I would have to hit ctrl+alt+del to get back to the normal screen.
Now, a good while back, I was having trouble with my GTX 660 EVGA FTW edition, constantly. I ended up RMA'ing it, and EVGA sent me a brand new one, but told me they thought the problem might be my power supply. I dismissed this, and upgraded to the 970, and haven't had the same problem occur again. (driver crashing constantly, sound problems, video playback slowdown, etc).
Combined with these new problems, I'm really starting to wonder about my PSU. Which is a seasonic X-series 750w 80+gold PSU. I don't have a multimeter to test it with, so I decided to look at the HW monitor stats for my Motherboard. Results to follow:
CPU VCORE: Min: 0.804 V/ Max: 1.008 V
VIN1: 2.016 V
+3.3V: 2.028 V
+5V: 3.367 V
-12V: Min: -7.056V max: -6.960V
-5V: -6.096V
+5VCCH: 2.843 V
VBAT: 1.524V
I have nothing overclocked, everything set to stock. I do have all my fans set to run at max speed all of the time.
Is something wrong? Should I be looking at getting a new PSU? I am mainly concerned about the -12V (which I assume is the 12 volt rail in my PSU) being so far below 12 volts, even though I don't really have a lot hooked up except fans via Molex connectors.
I could really use some help, I can tell something is not quite right with my rig, but I just can't seem to pin it down. I was having that slow post problem, removed the ram that I thought was faulty, and then put back in the ram that wasn't throwing out errors on Memtest 86, and a day or two later, I get the same problem again.
Edit: If you need any more HW monitor readings, just ask.
