Voltage rails too high...

[SeeFights]

so recently i had this problem with my computer where itll just restart randomly when under load. but after it not happening for a while its poped back up and ive looked at my voltage rails and they where at when i checked:

3.3 = 3.2

5 = 4.99

12 = 12.23

 

Are these too high and what should i do, these aret the exact numbers but its the best i could remember.

Those are fine. They're within 2% of what's expected. It's when you're over 10% you should start worrying.

 

EDIT: By "They" I mean the 12V. Lower voltages aren't harmful to the system, they just cause instability but the rest is still within 10%.

what is the wattage of your power supply, and what hardware are you running, you might not have enough power, might

[SageOfSpice]

A little low from what I understand at least.

Voltage and vdroop are a little difficult to measure though, as a lot of the time sensors aren't even accurate. You'd need something to read straight from the line itself.

 

In example, my 12v is reading at 5v. If it was actually at 5v, my computer wouldn't be running right now.

 

 

What all have you tried so far to diagnose these crashes? Have you tried synthetic tests on individual components to rule out potential issues with them?

ive had the PC for 2 years and its never happened.

if that means having spare parts to test the components no

What were you using to get these numbers? I would also re-look at the readings if you're doing it based on memory at the moment.

Putting this through a power calculator, have you got an amazing overclock or something as that's only 400W so that shouldn't be a problem

nah no overclock i used to run one until it began and stopped and then the problem dispersed and has legit reaper ed

If you're using Windows 7, I would see about disabling automatic restarts on BSODs to see if this is a BSOD: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/help-troubleshoot-the-blue-screen-of-death-by-preventing-automatic-reboot/

 

Or alternatively, you can look in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> System and look for "Errors" (This applies to Windows 8/8.1 and 10 in case you have those instead)

The overall wattage may be acceptable for the PSU, but it may not have sufficient amperage to power two 960s. What is the specific model number of your PSU?

 

Also, by synthetic test, I mean stress testing. Things like AIDA64, FurMark, and OCCT.

exact number are:

CPU: 1.296V

3.3V : 3.264

5V : 4.992

12V: 12.046

So does it only crash when you put any real load onto the GPUs???
