Alert ' Voltage is too low'

[phitsy]

Hi.&nbsp;&nbsp;While working on my PC, there is this message came up.<br>Alert 'Voltage is too low': Attribute &quot;Vcore (CPU voltage)' in 'System environement' set to 'low'.&nbsp;&nbsp;What does this mean?

it means you have a Voltage setting, that isnt powerful enough to keep running the computer at the current speed. take an Athlon for example<br>a 600Mhtz by default uses 1.60V of power<br>to use anything past a 700Mhtz, usally requires a 1.70V power. you could change it yourself, but I feel its best you tell us more details about your computer, as I never heard computer warn you like that, and if you try to increase the voltage yourself, you might fry your chip. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Alert 'Votage is too low' : Attribute '-12 Volts' in 'system....'<br><br>Application Alert type: BA58<br>Application ID: MonitorB<br><br>This is the alert log I am getting the information from.<br>The type of PC is : IBM 300xl.&nbsp;&nbsp;Type: 6588-20u<br>Has 64 RAM.&nbsp;&nbsp;around 4 Gb.&nbsp;&nbsp;This PC a Pentium II, therefore, I really don't think it is running more than 600Mhtz.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have to check tomorrow if this required.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Which area will I go into to change the Voltage?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it within the CPU or in one of the configuration settings?&nbsp;&nbsp;

I assume you are using Landesk, Informanager, or Intel Server Manager. These programs will monitor just about anything and give you an error when something doesn't seem right... In the software, there are settings for variations. Generally, if the acceptable high & low settings are wrong, an alert will be generated. You can generally ignore this error, as it is a 'minute' issue. However, if you want to pursue it, you should start off by reseating all the power connections in your system, reseat the cpus, and even replace the power supply. Otherwise, sometimes there is a jumper on the motherboard that will set the cpu speed. If it's set incorrectly, it could be giving the CPU an incorrect voltage, but usually it just won't boot if that's set wrong. Hope this helps.
