So here's the deal ... client with a Dell Inspiron 580. Locking up now and again, acting strange in general for a new machine, purchased last March just recently setting it up.
All looks good, all diagnostics check out fine... BUT ... I run SIW and the sensors tell me that the 12V rail is running at 3.6V in an idle state... running Orthos and it'll jump to 4.7 or so max.
Dell says the issues with the computer are software related ... as far as the power supply, their take on that is that if the system starts up then the power supply is fine and dandy. Regardless of what the 12V rail is doing.... hummmm.
I'm curious what folks here think... is SIW hosed up and just reading the sensors wrong???? So what do we think?
