Default Nf7s rev 2 bios voltages.

I figure by now that the bios voltages on most mobos aren't always the most accurate. Here comes the question though. My bios is showing my -12v line as a -61.99 volts. Does this with two different power supplies. Is there a chance that this is a precurser to my mobo failing. I have had a small rash of shutdowns recently for what windows reports as hardware related and I'm afraid of a trend starting. Just flashed the bios again tonight with the latest from Abit to make shure that wouldn't help before asking questions. If you guys have any thoughts, please lend a hand. Thanks. VF

Old psu = antec truepower 430watt
new psu= antec truepower 550watt. (if that was needed info.)

Thats a problem with nf7-s rev 2's in general and all motherboards. sometimes they just don't read voltages right. if you are getting random restarts then its because of a bad oc and try a slight voltage boost into your vcore aka cpu voltage.

If your still worried about it test out the -12 line with a multimeter.

Well, while I was checking on things I think I found out my restart problems. Seems my #3 memory slot is blown out. I have the corsair xms memory with the led usage bars. My one memory stick was completely dark. Pulled it, reseated it and nothing. Swapped the other stick into the #3 bank and same crap. Put the sticks in slots 1&2 and both sticks light up and work fine. I'll have to bring some cleaning supplies home from work and make shure there isn't any filth on the contacts tommorrow afternoon. I'm really hoping I just got some dust in there when I did all this power supply swapping.
