well your not overheating but neither program is showing the voltage...
run chkdsk /r ...use the instructions in post # 27

then go here and get Hmonitor 4.5.1.1
NOTE: its a Trial version and is FULLY FUNCTIONAL and intended to check the compatibility with particular hardware configuration
download it and run it and post screenshots...

any other way we can tell the Voltage?

Ill run the Disk thing tonight

By the way, I posted a similar topic on a similar forum, and they got me to run Driver Verifier, which identified a problem in my Zonealarm drivers. So I've deleted that. I'm not sure if thats the overall problem, sounds unlikely?

Thanks once again!

sorry...but whoever built you computer cheaped out and didn't include a sensor on the mobo...probably saved a nickle a unit...make a mental note to never buy that brand again
Bad computer memory is one of the three main reasons for random system failures.. the other two are heat (usually caused by fans or heatsinks being blocked with dust) or power issues...
since we eliminated the ram and heat as the cause...that leaves us power
