    I bought a brand new Antec Basiq 500w PSU from the Internet at Christmas and it was running at 11.37v

    I was told a couple days ago that this is dangerously low and that I have a faulty Power Supply. Well today I went out and bought a 460w Xclio StablePower PSU which cost me a bundle and after installing it onto my PC it's only reading at 11.07v

    Surely two brand new PSU's can't be faulty... What else could be the problem?

    OK update! I took both my PSU's to a PC repair shop and they tested the voltages with:

    A) A Multimeter

    B) BIOS

    All readings came back as 12.6v for both PSU's.

    That means that they're not faulty and that the problem has to be to do with my PC... Have you any idea what could be wrong?
