strange voltage = PSU dead?

[Karafias]

i have been having weird graphical issues while playing games recently, i tried to figure it out but couldn't do i just ignored it. the other day while playing wow, my computer shut down and didn't restart. kinda freaky... usually it restarts itself. i booted up, got the device failure notification, checked temps, etc but i didn't know what caused it. i have run prime95/memtest for hours with no problems and the temps are all fine, re-installed drivers and everything else i can think of. i start up wow again, and i get weird graphical issues:

i try everthing i can think of to fix it, nothing works. i call up EVGA, the guy says to check my voltages. says my 12v should be around 12.2 or maybe i have problems. i download smartfan and discover my +12v is around 11.7 and it jumps up to 11.8 constantly... my -12v is 9.4 and it jumps down to -9.3 occasionally. i'm hoping smartfan is giving bad readings or maybe this is fixable... i have no money to spare right now and this would be the 2nd bad PSU i got :s


would really suck if my psu was dead... funny thing is my original PSU was the fortron 530w from the PSU thread. it was DOA and a huge pain to get returned. i got a 550w truepower2 from the [H] system building article, figured if [H] recomended it, must be good... it was 30$ more than what the article said and now it is broke too ;P

psu: antec truepower 2
gfx card: evga 6600gt
mobo: lanparty sli--dr

Software reading's are inaccurate. You will need to use a multimeter to get your voltages.....and you can ignore the -12v.
