How can I do this?

[Kornowski]

Hey,

I was wondering if there was a way that I could check to see if my power supply is stable?

Thanks

 

[Kornowski]

Any Ideas?

if you didnt encounter any restarts randomly during or something.

 

[Kornowski]

I do have random restarts, thats why I want to test it, It may not be the PSU...

If you're not getting random restarts, then what's the problem?

What? I do look...

You can download speedfan, and look at the graphs of the voltages, and see if they're going crazy, or are stable.

I have Speedfan... Here's a picture... What voltages should I be looking at, Which are the most important ones?

 

[computermaineack]

The +12V should be around, well, 12V, and the vCore should also be pretty stable as well. I don't think you can look at them both at the same time...they'll both just look like little squiggles.

Do you think that my PSU is stable? my computer sometimes restarts when on the internet or anything and gaming?

Those look OK, what are the 3.3V and 5V rails running at? It would also be worth running memtest to check whether faulty RAM is your problem.

 

[Kornowski]

Awwww, but Memtest takes ages, lol.

How long should I run it for? and there's two when I search google...

 

[Kornowski]

I ran memtest for about an hour, well, Untill it reached 100% and I have no errors...

 

[Kornowski]

I guess thats good, so you don't think the power supply is faulty? Is there a way to keep a log of speedfan charts, as it sometimes does it in a game?

 

[ceewi1]

The 3.3V rail looks fine as well. Yes, speedfan has a logging facility and it wouldn't be a bad idea to check the rails under load. The help file has more information, but basically you need to go to Configure -> Log -> Enabled, and then select the Temperatures and Voltages to be logged.

 

[Kornowski]

I've tried to log them but I can't figure out how and where they're saved to:

 

[Rambo]

Just a guess, but have you looked in the speedfan directory, in Program Files?

 

[Kornowski]

I managed to find where the logs are but I can't figure out how to record the logs...

Suggestions?
