Recently, I have noticed that my computer's power supply has been putting out concerningly low voltages on my +3.3v rail. Voltages can range from as low as 2.5v to as high as 3.10v, but nothing higher. I have a Thermaltake Purepower 480W (link). All readings were taken just after bootup, with a combination of the BIOS PC Health section, and AbitEQ, which came with the motherboard. Should I be concerned?
Also recently, my screen image has often become totally and completely corrupted, with random colored pixels covering the screen. The computer is fine during safe mode, but during normal Windows startup, or even during boot, the image may become corrupted. I have a Syncmaster 172T LCD connected over DVI to a 9800Pro. I have checked the cable and the connectors, and they are not likely to be the cause of the problem. I have not overclocked my system. Could this problem be linked to the PSU problem above?
Thx for any help in advance
