    Opinions needed about power supply condition


    My second computer tower started randomly shutting down. Then the monitor said due to power supply surge, the computer shut down to protect the system. I took the PS out and tested it with a Digital multimeter and here are my findings, +5v dc rail at turn on, is +5.116 vdc after 7 minutes, it then reads +4.608 vdc. According to the minimum tolerance of +4.750 vdc I'm going to say the PS is bad. The +12 vdc starts at +12.07 vdc and holds as does the +3.3 vdc rail. What would you do spend the money for a new PS? Thanks for your opinions! *Smile
