Overvoltage error

Dahlbom · 11-23-2008, 04:07 AM

Hi everyone

Ever since I got myself a new power supply I have been getting the overclocking or overvoltage failed error. At thirst I thought I was my graphics card that required too much power, but I removed it and inserted an older one and the error still appears. The PC just turns off in the middle of something. I have now placed an older powersupply and everything works fine, except the older powersupply can't power the new graphics card. Is there anyway to fix the overvoltage error?

What is the brand and model of the new power supply?
If you have it installed check in the Bios setup for the voltages and temps and pos the readings(providing you have the new supply installed)

I'm thinking the psu is overvolting so it may be best to RMA
What brand and Model PC do you have?

WHAT does RMA mean?

RMA = Return Material Authorization in manufacture speak, just a short way to say return for warranty.
