Your 5v doesn't look to good... Id check it with a multi-meter b4 replacing your PSU..
5v & 3v should be no more than +/- 5%
12v should be no more than +/- 10%

how much is 10 % on the voltages..like lets say this is the 12V..i can't go more than 12.10V..or else it's not good.cuz if thats the case..mine is 12.43V,3.3 is @ 3.38..,

Umm...
Okay here is a math lesson everyone....

12 * .10 (10%) = 1.2

Now when ppl say +/- that means it can either be up to 13.2 (+), or 10.8 (-)
Comprende?
Same goes for other percentages as well.. happy.gif
