Can anyone part with any knowledge on the readings below from Mother Board Monitor 5?
I'm somewhat concerned that my PSU is not exactly performing well. Having posted here in relation to BSOD's occuring frequently.
Memtest 86+ & MS Mem Test both report fine... at least 10 times over.
Direct X = fine
Results taken at interval of 1 second during playing of Rome Total War (the great BSOD deliverer )

The ones that concern me most at first glance are those in red since they seem to fluctuate rather too much.
I'm still getting BSOD's, and have done lots of memory testing - all ok, lots of Driver testing - all ok AFAIK.
If I need a PSU it's gonna need to be reliable, and thereby expensive, so I want to make sure I'm not replacing the wrong component.
My Seagate SATA dies in January, I replaced it with a WD Caviar whilst waiting (endlessly) for Overclockers to respond to my RMA request. They took 10 weeks to respond to 9 faxes and 32 unanswered calls before kindly..... allowing my return only to send me a new one I don't need!
@ £65 out of pocket already, I don't need another £50 on a PSU that I don't need.... albeit its starting to look like I do!
Anyone know anything about PSU's then?
