    Ok, just remember when giving me any answers, I am very dumb when it comes to computers...here goes

    For the past few months, when I would go to log into an online game, my computer would sometimes reboot itself right when the game world was loading. I went through all the download latest drivers, full scan, all that good stuff. Eventually I could get into the game.
    Now to my current problem- I woke up this morning to my computer rebooting itself over and over. I can't even get it to boot up in safe mode. I have no idea what to do with it. Only thing I can look at is the BIOS screen. Most of the stuff I have no clue about, but I was looking through the MB settings at the voltage readings. This is what it reads:

    VCore- 1.71V
    +3V- 3.34
    +5V- 4.4V
    +12V- 12.48V

    Now the last 2 don't look right to me, don't know if that's how it's supposed to be. But seeing the 5V at 4.4 doesn't seem like a good sign. I tried to find the actual settings from the Asus website(I have an AMD), but no luck.
    Could this be causing my reboots? And if so, is there a way to adjust these voltages?

    Thanks ahead of time guys

    I wouldn't give much thought to those voltages if its worked before its probably adjusted the voltages correctly,the only way to test them properly is to use a meter,if you are running win xp try insertin the disk let the comp boot from it then repair the win install.

    I just booted from the disk and got one of those nice STOP codes from the blue screen. When I looked it up, it was suggested that I reinstall Windows. If that doesn't work, may be a hardware problem. Is there anyway to format a HD without using the Windows disk? For some reason my disk is giving me problems

    Well, found that my motherboard has pretty much crapped out. Can I get a few opinions on some of the better MZB's out there right now? AMD preferred:)

    That's MB's, not MZB's, lol
