Looks so,but I wont take Bios readings at face value. What is the make/model if your PSU and your PC configuration please before we can analyze the problem. And how long are you using it?

I dont want to sound ridiculous, but I think you will need to upgrade the whole config. It looks too old for the todays market

Too old for what :thumbdown: for me that's enough as home entertainment PC,can play HD videos and now playing crysis 3@medium settings in 1080p that's enough.


The PSU is either dying.

Yup About 2months ago 5v rails are down n now 3v also :( :banghead:

Get a good PSU regardless, PSUs are always futureproof..
Id recommend a VP450p if you want to ever upgrade in future
