Just built first computer, PSU problem?
HI everyone. This was the first computer I built, I helped with another one once, but this time it was all by myself. I have an Asus P5NSLI Mobo, Intel 6600 Core 2 Duo, BFG7600GT, 250GB Western Digital HD, a DVD burner and an D-Link wireless card. Anyway, I just downloaded speedfan, and under the battery readings, the +3.3V reading is showing 0.0. Is this normal? It is a Hiper Modular Power Supply, 580 Watts, ATX+12V. What could be going on here? Did I forget to plug something in? Thanks for any help!

Does the computer run apart from that?
Why would a tower computer require a battery reading apart from the 3volt motherboard battery? and I doubt if that would register on a PSU analyzer.

Other than that, it does seem to be working fine. It has, however, shut down twice now while I was browsing the internet.

Speed Fan, in most cases, is good for a quick reference. Try not to rely on it for extreme accuracy.

What temps should I be looking for? Speedfan is showing my processor running at 41 degrees right now with not much load. That is still lower than my old AMD 3400+ though. The case doesn't feel very warm either. Also, the Phoeniz BIOS that came with the mobo didn't seem to have anywhere to check temps, at least not from when I was in them earlier

-Id suggest you first run Memtest-Google it.
-Is your videocard fan spinning? -Are you sure nothing is being grounded?
