Hey guys, as you may know from my other topic, PC is being crap again.
So its been narrowed down to the PSU or Mobo.
Just wanted to post up wat the readings of my PSU voltages are and hopefully you guys can tell me the status of the PSU ( about to die, or still good )

SO is my PSU still working fine?
Cheers

The + 5 volts looks a little off to me the rest are well within 1%.

The fact that the +5 volts low point was only 1.5 volts is alarming and could be the cause of you trouble.

Other than using software the only way to test a psu is with a volt meter.
