5V and your 12V line are a bit low, but within tolerances i think...

I think that 12V line is way too low. Maybe try swapping power supplies with somebody else and see if that changes things?

In my opinion, these all seem a bit low. This PSU new or old?

My BIOS spins them at high levels before the PC enters the OS then it slows down it's a regulation problem *Shrugs* And I know my screens dirty i already cleaned it off lol after I saw it was. and my PSU is some Bestec 260W supplied by Lenovo PC company

usually the voltages aren't 12 and 5 volts, it usually can be up to -1 volt on either, mine probably isn't 12 volts

If its a 250 watt thats a bit low, i would get a 400 to be safe.

250 is kind of low, I bet that's probably it, ether that or the PSU is just failing.
