While it is possible the motherboard is just way off, with you experiencing instability it's likely that the 5v rail is too low
A new psu is in order I guess, what psu is that?

k, that confirms it i am definitly getting a new PSU . the PSU is a cheap Powmax? 400w, 20A? on the 12v rail. plus i have a second PSU also powering the system cause the 400w is not enough.

If it has those 400W in reality, then I'm the Prince of Monaco.

From my experience the readings of the +12v rail are almost always very far from the truth, but +5v rail is usually read more or less correctly (comparing with reading from a multimeter).

I don't have enough time to read every thread in this forum, but I haven't heard anything (neither good nor bad) about "Super Flower" PSUs. Why don't you go for something reliable and renown like OCZ or Topower?

Well, I know every PSU has got better efficiency at low temps and worse efficiency at high temps, but that @#$% above would probably stop working at -15C.

Frozen prince? I don't think there are many princesses out there, who would free me from my icy trap, so I'm not gonna risk that.
