DFI Lan Party Power Problem

markgraf2004 · 12 Jul 2006 at 12:37

I have a DFI lan party 250 GB? MOBO and I am running Smart Guardian monitoring.

My screen corrupts randomly and sometimes the comp locks. One of the ATX Voltage readings on the Smart Guardian interface is red and low.

Does this indicate the problem is in the MOBO???

My BIOS Voltage Readings are
ATX 3.3 2.77 V
ATX 5.0 4.88 V
ATX 12 11.76V
ATX 5VSB 4.89

Smart Guardien Reads

CPU 1.45
Chipset 1.56
ATX 5V 4.91
DRAm 2.59
ATX 12V 11.64
AGP1.5 1.48
ATX3.3 2.59 (In RED)
VBAT 3.0 2.99

Thanks for any help

Welcome to the forums

What PSU have you got?

Go into the bios and check out the voltage readings in hardware monitor. See if any are dramatically off their normal values.

Might be worth getting a multimeter and checking manually too. But as MinstaDave says, check em in BIOS first.
