Is my psu causing my problems?

I've got an antec Trupower 330w which is a few years old now and i've noticed recently some sysmte issues, like the hard drives not spinning up properly and random restarts.

Now whenever i reboot one of the voltage readings goes red sometimes then goes back to normal but i'm not entirely sure what that means.

Here's a pic of my volts:

Is it time for a new power supply?

system spec:

xp 1700+ @ 1.84ghz
768mb PC2100 @ 166mhz
Epox 8rda+
Radeon 9500NP 128mb (stock)
Maxtor diamonxmax 10 80gb
Maxtor diamondmax 10 250gb

Any advice would be nice

How do you know this 'sp00n' then?

Any recommendations on a modular atx psu? or maybe just a normal one.

Awesome thanks.

Think i'll go for the tagan 330w psu as i don't really need to be spending much money on this system.[size=+1][/size]

I noticed the red reading in the BIOS was the VDD and it drops to 1.47, is that low?

It would be interesting if you could show the voltages once windows is booted up, a comparison between the voltages with the system idle, and the system at full load would give some 'interesting' data.

The 2 pics at the top are a comparison between idle and full load :confused:
