Quick question. I know a low 12V is bad, but what about high?
My friend has a questionable power supply in his relatively high-end system (E8200, eVGA 680i, 8800GT, 4GB RAM, 2 DVD burners, hard drive powered via a Apevia 500W). Checking the 12V rail, it runs about 12.3V just in the BIOS.
The issue is that he is having some random freezes and some graphic tearing/freeze (not enough power to GPU?). Sound like PSU? RAM is MemTest OK and temps are fabulous. The only other thing that we think is the motherboard, as it is refurbished.
Just checking, thanks.
