EDIT(S): (Thanks, Ralston, for the quick response.)
First, I felt really dumb after I opened the computer, couldn't find a power supply, per se, and then remembered it's got DC voltage coming in from a power brick that I had just unplugged from the back of it. Derp!
I tested the DC end of the 90-watt, 19.5V, 4.62A, power brick cable and it registered just over 19 volts.
Everything inside this Inspiron 24 5459 AIO is from the factory, except for the DVD-RW drive I swapped out this morning while I had it apart because the original didn't want to burn anything (the replacement works just fine). It has 8G and 4G DIMMS for 12G total, and a 1TB HDD. Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400T CPU @ 2.20GHz, onboard graphics. I think it rated a 12% on gaming goodness, LOL.
It was driven by my little-old-lady sister to read emails, check Facebook, and maybe play Candy Crush every once in a while.
Here are the voltages after I put it back together, from HWMonitor again, as there is no voltage reporting feature in the BIOS.
Thanks again for taking a moment for me. The thing that started this -- the (CPU, I found out) fan running loudly -- has settled back to what I consider normal, but these voltages still freak me out a bit.
ORIGINAL:
I recently inherited an older Dell All-in-one computer that's way faster than anything I'd been trudging along with previously. This morning I heard the fan wailing away after a night of doing nothing (as far as I know) and wanted to check the temps. They look fine, honestly, but then I noticed the voltage readings. Should I turn this baby off till I can find a new power supply? I'm worried, LOL.
