Hi,

Apologies if this is too off-topic.  If a motherboard is indicating it
is getting only 4.6V instead of 5V, is this generally caused by the
power supply unit failing to deliver the needed power?  And if so, is
that something that occasionally happens to a PSU, or should I be
looking into the quality of the power coming out of the wall power
socket (it's  a 1930s house)?  It sure makes the PC unstable!

Thanks :)

Damon
