Motherboard & GFX Card... uh oh

[Hitman]

Just started up my PC and the ASUS SmartDoctor app that monitors the GFX card started flashing with:

"VGA's voltage is out of safe bound. Motherboard doesn't supply reliable 12.0 voltage. Contact its manufacturer for help".

It never used to say this, so why should it now? :S

Speedfan is telling me that Vcore is 1.21v, and +12v is 12.46... which is fine, isn't it..?

Any help?

[Markeh]

Can we have some system specs?

Can we have some system specs?

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8600 @ 2.33 Ghz, 4GB of RAM (not sure of exact make), Asus nVidia GeForce 9400GT.

I've not modified anything and yet it just decided to say it...

When we ask for specs, we usually want exact specs, manufacturers, models, revisions etc, go grab them.

Grab everything, mobo, psu, cpu, ram, hdds, everything.

O K. This should suffice.
