Ok to get things started I received a Epox 9NPA+ Ultra, XFX 7800gt, 550 watt Sunbeamtech NUUO power supply, and an AMD 3700+ for Christmas. I also have 1.5 gb of ram(not the best stuff by any means).

During normal usage my computer functions exactly how I would expect it to, but when I play World of Warcraft I get random reboots quickly after starting to play. At first I thought that my video card might be over heating.

I am able to run 3dmark05 all the way through and I also downloaded the Single player FEAR demo. I am able to complete the demo completely as well. After the reboot I power down and feel the 7800gt, it's not hot to the touch so I kinda ruled out a video card problem.

I downloaded Speed Fan and my all my Temperatures seem to be fine. My processor peaks at about 41 degrees C and my overall system temp stays in the low to mid 30's. My voltages kinda of scare me though.

Speed Fan Voltages
Vcore 1.49
+12V 13.01
3.3v 1.54
Vcc 5.04
Vin2 0.00
5Vsb 5.07
Vbat 0.00

To be honest I really don't know if these are acceptable or what but I have exhausted my thoughts on what might be causing the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
 
13v on the 12v is not good. I think something is up with that power supply, or you didn't conenct all the cables.
 
I can't really think of any cables that I could have looked over. What voltage is the 4-pin connector by the CPU run at? The only cable that was supplied was a 6 pin and a 4 pin "combo" cable that runs at 12v I think. There was no other 4 pin connector with the PSU. Is there something obvious I am just missing?
 
Well I checked my bios health settings and this is what is reported...

CPU temp 37C
System temp 35C
Chipset(V) 1.53V
CPU(V) 1.47V
Dimm(V) 2.75V
+3.3V 3.4V
+5 5.13
Bat(V) 3.15

Again I'm not sure if these are significant but I thought any more info might be helpful.
