    Motherboard Monitor Alarm

    Suddenly I keep having the -5 volt alarm sounding with radings of -5.54 to -5.6 volts. Is this something I should be concerned about? I noticed this when I replaced my power supply with a 350 watt one dut to the old 300 watt supply making a noise I didn't like.

    I replaced the supply again today with a 430 watt one, and still getting the alarm.

    I am running Windows 2000 SP3, Abit BP6 with two Celeron 366 processors overclocked to 550. I recently put in a 80 GB Maxtor hard drive. I have a DVD drive and CD RW drive, floppy, another hard drive.

    Any help out there? Thanks.

    Even if you five volt line was 5.6 volts, there is no real need to be alarmed.

    Motherboard moniter may have a settings tab that should allow you to adjust the alarm trigger, say to 4volts or 6 volts for example, I'd just uninstall MM if it gets on your wick.

    Is this the general concensus out there?
