Base on the Vcore Temperature Monitoring in the BIOS, how can I tell if my Power Supply Unit has problem? Is there an indication that the power supply unit is about to fail?
I notice the Temperature of the Vcore in the BIOS, some computers has higher than the +1.8V, +3.30V, +5.00V and +12.00V and some computers has lower than the +1.8V, +3.30V, +5.00V and +12.00V.

Symptoms of a Failing Power Supply.
Power supply hardly shows symptoms that it’s about to fail usually it just dies and that’s it you just have to replace it.
Â
But here are some lists of power supply failure symptoms:
Â
-
You hear strange annoying noise at the back of your computer where you plug in the power cord to the power supply.
-
Computers take minutes to turn on. No matter how many times you press the power button nothing happens to your computer.
-
Your computer turns on and then turns off again.
-
After you turn on your computer and open some games or application that required heavy processes your computer turns off or you get a blue screen of death for windows user.
Â
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: It in NOT advisable to manually check you power supply as it requires knowledge on electrical matters.
Â
It may cost damage to the power supply and most importantly to you. Let a certified electrician do the job for you.
