Wow. I'm surprised your computer is get into the BIOS with such a low 12 V line... Can you manually measure the voltage to be sure that reading is correct?

 

Also, are you sure you cleared the BIOS? That Vcore seems incredibly high for stock... Unless that's standard on AMD FX?

 

Used a multimeter to check the voltages out of the PSU, using a paperclip to power it on, not plugged into any components. Voltages all matched the on the box stamp. While the computer was posted I only managed to check the 12V before it died on me. Out of an unused connector of the PSU the 12V matched 12V.

 

Have not been able to reset my BIOS, computer shuts down before I get anywhere and I can't see to find a Hardware switch for it.

looks more like a mobo issue to me

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Have not been able to reset my BIOS, computer shuts down before I get anywhere and I can't see to find a Hardware switch for it.

 

A while ago, I replied this:

 

Have you tried that? You don't need to be in the BIOS. You can clear the CMOS (the chip holding the BIOS code) by unplugging the machine and taking the lithium battery out of the motherboard for ten seconds.

 

To which you responded:

 

 

Have tried that now, but to no efect. Computer still shuts down immedeatly, when I turn it on.

 

 

I'm confused.
