hi
ive been having trouble with my pc rebooting shortly after starting a game. i have an Antec NeoPower 480W Psu and
everything is running at stock settings. i installed PCAlert from MSI and it seems that it has found something
wrong with the voltage, please take a look at suggest what i need to change in the bios to fix it.

thanks
Well that must be wrong. Your computer wouldn't run if the 12V was at... 2V. How many devices you got in there?
List your specs for us please.

OCZ Platinum EL Dual Channel Kit 2x512MB DDR400 PC3200 CL 2-2-2-5
Western Digital WD740GD Raptor 74GB Serial ATA 10,000rpm 8mb
AMD (Newcastle) Athlon 64 3500+
NEC ND-3500 Double Layer Dual 16x DVD R/RW
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
Tachyon Radeon 9700 Pro
Turn it off - disconnect the power to the CD drive and take out 1 stick of RAM, putting it somewhere safe. See what the readings are then.
Also, go into the BIOS and see what the voltages read in there (usually a "PC Health" menu or something along those lines.) If they don't match the software then perhaps the software is dodgy.

taken from Xtremesystems huuuge 939 tip thread (well worth a look)

TIP: if you experience problems with Antec Neopower and Truepower PSUs and also with PowerStream PSUs, try Bios 1.37 and turn the PSU off after you shut down, seems to help as well
ignore the 2v reading its the data being sent and displayed that is wrong!!!!!
12v will be 12v not 2v
I see the same on mine you'll fine the 3.3v line readings incorrect as well
it will be in the low 3's but is higher always say 3.17v on mine and I've turned it
up to 3.6 on the PSU and it still says 3.17v.
So take the voltage reading with a hugh pinch of salt.
ok i was using MSI Live Update to check for new bios etc, version 1.30 is installed; ive got Bios 1.37 but i dont have a clue what im supposed to do with the w7025nms.141 file. i will read the thread you linked and post what happens as soon as i can.
thanks again
Get a copy of winflash then load the w7025nms.141 bios file then tell it to flash the bios.

ok i upgraded the bios to 1.41, switched my memory to slots 1 & 2 as opposed to 1 & 3 as stated in the manual; finally i moved the sata hd from slot 1 to 3 as in the the thread linked by 'da ding' and the result is
Everquest 2 & Raven Shield run without crashing.
Thanx again
