Easy - if the system is running stable, then voltages are safe
You just can't kill your components with little (10%) undervoltage, no need to worry about.

From technical specification of this device: * Leistung: +/-5% des gemessenen Wertes, +/- 10VA * Power +/-5% of measured value, +/- 10VA ::: * Power Factor > 0,80 cos Phi Apparently it doesn't measure W (active), but VA (reactive - much easier to measure digitally). Your PSU seems to have PF much le...

I voted for "Other". This means that wait for M-Audio Revolution 5.1 (not 7.1) Vista64 drivers (hopefully not forever) and then buy it. Or buy M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or similar card (based on VIA Envy24 chip with good DAC and opamps) and enjoy your headphones. Creative X-Fi better cards (starting f...

Do you experience any problems when you remove SB sound card? Many SB cards are known to not obey PCI bus standards; this may affect other PCI cards too.

What means that your drive is in perfect condition, no need to worry about

What raw value (Data) shows "Reallocated sector count"? If above zero, then "Reallocation event count" (if such atribute exists)? Attribute values 100, 200 or 253 are pretty normal. Their maximum (perfect) values are not defined by SMART "standards", but manufacturers usually use one of these three....

Looks almost normal except misdesigned CPU ducting (air must escape somewhere, after all) and missing fan on backplane (usual cause for system overheating even without any silencing efforts). Well, PSU airflow seems a bit restricted either :) Chieftec cases are pretty solid, but support usually only...

Calibrate your realtemp core1 to match other cores. Intel CPU (esp 45nm) core temperature sensors are not calibrated to show correct idle temperatures - they're calibrated to detect overheating. If you run prime95 on four cores then probably temperatures will align up. I think if you press "Test Sen...

Set your RAM to run in single-channel mode OR set their speed to 333Mhz (single channel is faster). Due to the s939 memory controller problems and motherboard/BIOS writers laziness, many board/BIOS combinations cannot run more than 6 banks RAM in dual-channel mode at 400MHz. If you have double-sided...

I'm almost sure that you can't solve your problem. I cannot give links, but about year ago my friend had similar problems; after exhaustive research on internet and on PC-Mark forums it was clear that this is PC-Mark specific problem with nForce4 chipsets. It may be similar problem with other behcma...

An innocent looking JPG file that's embedded in a webpage cannot load a virus on your computer. Yes it can, unless browser is tightly sandboxed. It was about year or two ago, when there was some windows image drawing library exploited. Remotely, just by displaying (GIF? WMF?) image on the screen. T...

I trust Opera browser and even when it does let something in (unlikely, but always possible), I trust myself and my abilities to notice and kill any nastyware ;) I didn't click your link either. What about using AV software, then that creates false sense of security. Most seriously infected PCs, wha...

Core0 movement (3) is somewhat low, core1 (5) is better (on that forum people are reporting 6-10 degrees for 45nm CPUs). What means that core0 sensor is probably faulty. What is actually not a problem unless it won't work on high temperatures, when CPU needs thermal protection. Certainly this is not...

Press Realtemp button "Test Sensors" and tell, what does it say.

Don't reapply thermal paste, do cores' test with Realtemp - this test will give you idea about stucking sensor. From what I can see, your core0 sensor doesn't give correct signal and that's all. To adjust core1 idle temperature, use realtemps Idle Calibration feature. Search in linked forum thread :...

For many 45nm processors one (or both) sensor is stuck at some higher temperature, you can nothing to do about it. Read this thread - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=179044 (there are 42 pages, be patient - I've read them all :)), there's very deep explanation of core temperatur...

One more thing - have you spare PSU? Booting problems are often caused by PSU problems, before opting for new motherboard you should try your system with another PSU. I'd choose GA-(E)P35-DS3 or DS3R over DS3L - the latest has somewhat weaker power circuitry design. What about subject - you didn't b...

Usual healing procedure for seem-to-be-bricked motherboards: 1. Disconnect PC from mains, wait for 5 minutes 2. Remove/disconnect everything (video, disk drives, pci cards, ram), leave only CPU, some coolers, PSU cables and front panel cables connected (NB! you should have working speaker!) 3. Turn ...

Just be careful. Vdroop is actually needed to keep CPU voltages in allowed area wihle changing CPU load. Eliminating Vdroop completely may yield to very strange stability problems (hangups, blue screens and so on), especially in load transitions. If VCore is near maximum allowed, then load>idle tran...

This SSD drive is the real slow one. From spec (diff models, you probably have MLC):

SLC - Read up to 30MB/s, Write up to 22MB/s (8GB, 16GB, 32GB)
MLC - Read up to 25MB/s, Write up to 8MB/s (32GB )

Read Newegg reviews to compare experience.

Are you tried marvell drivers from http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do? The latest drivers are from 2/21/08.

You may first uninstall all previous GBE drivers in safe mode. Well, XP can reinstall these automatically aftre restart.

Have you connected 4pin +12V CPU power cable? I've heard and seen numerous cases, when this cable is not connected at all or is not connected properly. On one system PSU had 4pin connectors like CPU1 and CPU2 (joinable into 8pin CPU power connector) - I did connect CPU2, exactly same symptoms. CPU1 ...

Since the cable itself isn't moving, and the magnetic field isn't changing, no EMF is generated. I stated that lifted cable may start moving (resonating) within sound field :) I agree that any such effects are very small, probably below any measurement level. But I couldn't think of any other cause...

What about lifting cables, I did find one possible explanation already :) Pure electromechanical feedback - lifted cables may start resonate in sound waves; if there's some (presumably static, but not necessary) magnetical field present, then that will cause some additional current in cables. A sta...

Most probably 4th, but possible (although unlikely) 1st too.

I'm sure you're much more educated than me on such matters. Static electricity, residual magnetism, etc, all beyond my conversation abilities outside of I've heard of them and have seen what they do, but beyond that I have nothing to offer. Putting education aside, you have something valuable to of...

Eliminated by My Humble Opinion only

From what I know I can't see, how lifting insulated low voltage power cables on isolators can alter cable electrical parameters for audio frequencies (say up to 100kHz). If you can provide some background information (link), I'm well ready to discuss.
