Thanks for the replies guys.
There are some things that i want to clarify. My old mobo was a Chaintech VNF3-250 and the PSU was reading a solid 12.10 back then. Note though that the old mobo was using a 20pin connector and the new one is using a 24pin connector. The Enermax PSU that i have...
My system specs:
Athlon64 3000+ 754 socket
512MB DDR RAM
MSI K8N Neo3
Enermax Noisetaker 485W 24pin
120GB WD HDD
I set up this system last Friday and i saw that the +12 line has a 11.48 reading. Should i be worried?
I had an Epox 8RDA3+ some time ago and it was giving me some of the problems you mentionned. Most impotantly though, it was giving me freezing screens. EVERYTHING would freeze and i had to click on the reset button for them to fix. In the end, the mobo simply died.
Definetely do a BIOS...
From the thread you linked me to, only one person seemed to have problems. And that could of been because of something else going wrong in his system, not the PSU. But oh well... who knows.
Im supporting Enermax because i bought lately a 485W Enermax Noisetaker, to replace my old and crappy...

Best PSU maker on the planet.
I am also having some kind of weird problems as well and for two nights i ran Memtest and Prime95 for about 8 hours each: No errors.
Btw what are your system temps?
What you say doesnt make sense.
If it is a HSF problem he would have higher temps. It isnt a temp problem, especially when his system seems to be well cooled.
Project86, you should consider running memtest.
I have ran dxdiag tests many times and i passed them all with flying colours. But here is the interesting part: I read your suggestion and i decided to run dxdiag again anyways. When dxdiag was loading, the system rebooted...!!

Ok before i start, take a look at the initial thread i made about how the problem developed, it should give you plenty of info: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=31&threadid=1524712&enterthread=y

OOOk the Direct X error message appeared again after a full week of non problematic gaming. Here is how the message looks like: http://users.tellas.gr/~ilias78/DX%20error.jpg

Thanks for your advice Yilar, the problem seems to be solved now. Although im still cautious about it...lol.
I uninstalled the 66.93 drivers and installed the 71.81 ones. I ALSO reinstalled DirectX 9.0c because at some point my games would give me an error message concerning DirectX. Perhaps...
