    If you look along the bottom of SpeedFan it should show a load of Voltage ratings. Post all of them here, then we can see if the psu is overloaded or not.

    Apart from the info posted everything else is blank.

    There could be a more practical solution of course. You didn't have a power cut that only lasted a few seconds that you were unaware of?

    We do get alot of power cuts some just momontary blips but the computer was the only thing affected this time.

    Should look like this:-

    Maybe your motherboard is so old speedfan can't pick up the voltage detection.

    Also get a can of compressed air and a soft brush and blow out the fan and vents
    if its a desktop PC take out all power supplys and cables remove lid and give a good blowout and gently brush dust away.

    Mine did it a few weeks ago .....can of air and dust storm to rival the Sahara at its best soon cured the problem. :j

    Is that your 3.3v reading!? Looks very, very low. I always thought it should never go below 3.13v's.
