is my power supply dying?
i have been having random bouts of computer problems. If i leave my computer to go to standby, when i come back and try to awaken it I get disk action and then nothing. when I try to restart it i can hit the button all i want and nothing, i have to unplug it and hit the pwerbutton then reconnect the power and then it works fine, just like if you acidentally cross wires hooking up a fan while its running and it shuts down. i also every once and a while get random restarts and problems fresh booting. this pwoer supply has been questionable since day one since It created a buzzing sound in my breaker box but i thought that was just my wiring. So should i replace it?
Im running whats in my sig with 4 fans
MBM shows:
Core0- 1.61
core1- 3.3
+3.3- 2.94
+5- 5.15
+12- 10.46
-12- 5.73
-5- 0
I dont belive all this in the bios it all shows up normal but maybe system load is messing it up.
ps I just realized that this didnt start happening till i got my new hd and hd cooler so the extra load may have set it off
thanks in advance

What kind of power supply is in your machine? It doesn't need a huge amount of power based on your sig, but something from a reputable manufacturer is almost always better than generic...
just sayin
If it is out of spec do not hesitate to get a new one!!! Bad power supplies are the #1 hardware killer!!
(next to stupidity of course):bigggrin:
its made by premier and its 350W
