System:
AMD mobile 2400+ (Stock HS from an old retail package put on with radioshack white thermal compound)
SOLTEK 75MIV2-L SOCKETA mATX
512 MB Mushkin RAM
Seagate ST3200822A
Old PSU
Some old DVD player
Happauge WinTV-Radio
The PSU I have is the one I mentioned in another thread that I don't entirely trust, but still I didn't expect numbers like I'm getting, as I'm about to discuss. I'm not sure how familiar most of you are will Linux, but there's a tool to read diodes similiar to MBM called lm_sensors. Like MBM it can be configured to read different chips of chips and will try to autodetect the chips you have but it can get them wrong. The readings I'm getting off of it are so screwy that either my PSU is completely shot (but the system seems to RUN fine) or the sensors have got to be mislabeled. Here's the output I'm getting:

Also, I'm a little disappointed that the CPU is so hot running at 1.35 VCore, even with stock fan. Think that's an indication I need to reseat the heatsink?
I'm going to dig into the bios when I get home tonight and see what THEY say about the voltages, there should be a place to get that but I can't check them at the moment.
The other weird thing is that my RAM seems to buzz or hum when it's going through the selfcheck at startup. I've never heard that before, and was just a little weirded out by it. It's fairly loud, and stops as soon as the selfcheck is done. Clues?
