So my computer would shut down 10 minutes into a game, every time! I thought it was over heating so I increased the fan speeds, turned up my GPU fan to 100% and it would still shut down. Then I thought maybe something is wrong with RealTemp and it is not giving me accurate temps, so I decided to check the temps in the BIOS, only to find all the voltages written in Red. I am pretty sure Red means bad, but I really need help to understand how bad? I am attaching a photo of what the page looked like.

 

Please help. Any help is appreciated 

 

Thank you in advance

Bad as in you are going to fry your motherboard and all of your components.

Change your PSU asap.

Okay! Officially scared now. I don't think my motherboard has V checkpoints (Sabertooth X58) but I did however download HWMonitor. Don't know how reliable that is, but here is a screenshot for the same! 

Also, if I have to buy a new PSU, should I get one with more power or is this just a faulty piece? 
 
I am using:
Sabertooth x58
i7 930 (Not overclocked)
EVGA GTX 560 Ti (Not Overclocked)
Corsair H60
Coolermaster Silent Pro M 600W

you should be fine with another 600W PSU , just get a better made on like the Cs600M or CX600m from corsair :) , 14 V on the 12 v rail = bye bye motherboard , but looks like the Voltage controller and surge protection seem to be keeping that system alive for now , and also the 3.3 is unvoted :L wow yer new psu ASAP

So I have decided to get a new PSU. And I picked the Corsair RM750. Corsair because, it's Corsair, I trust them and they have good RMA here in India. And 750 for the sole purpose of future proofing.

 

There is not a lot of difference between 650 and 750 price wise so I think it makes more sense, but I am open to suggestions. If you know how the PSU is, and if it is a good option or not. Do tell

 

Thank you  :)
