Im getting 11.73 - 11.61 volts on the 12v rail.....jeez I think I finally figured out why im crashing.... is it because of my PSU ?? its 380 W HEC....I donno.... if thats the problem......can I use a dual PSU ( 380W HEC with a 350W ANTEC ) ?? the antec for the GC and 12v rail ? ( or maybe the HDD too ? ) help !

The greatest vice in the world is Anime. Period. Occupying over 400GB of HDD space and 90% of my time is pure evil. What say you ?
Does hardware control you or is it the other way around ? I spend more time cleaning mine ( like a servant ) than using it..

You're still under the 5% tolerance on the 12v rail and you can use dual psu config but I would suggest a single brand name psu around 450W

ENTERPRISE

Your PSU 12v rail voltage is normal however it could be the PSU on its way out. Remember to eliminate the fact that its a PSU issue run another PSU in your system of possible and see if it runs ok. Alos Drivers can be a cause of a crashing system. I would update your video drivers/Chipset drivers and sound drivers.

sound ? can I get links for chipset and sound ?? + my video drivers im at my wits end.... I tried every popular version from 91.37 - 81.XX my antec probably doesnt have enough power too..... only 11.80 v on the 12v rail

FYI. My 250W Huntkey could handle a:
6800LE
Sempy 2400+ SocketA
7VM400AMF
And fans, HDD's you know, a 30W in the hat.

By using the wattage calculator i got 312W, so i think your 380W isn't a problem.

But, how many amperes is there on the 12V rail(s)?
