The only accurate way to test PSU voltage is by using a digital multimeter, and testing the actual voltage of the power supply. If the system is unstable at all, then I would replace it.

well, if those voltages are accurate, then i would say have your PSU replaced. 11.62v on the 12v rail is on the iffy side of things

11.5 is where it starts failing on most components..... I'd replace it.

Also make sure your PSU is under load measure the voltages. Please be careful you don't short your probes out or good bye computer!

I've heard good and bad things about them. Yet it's been more bad than good. What kind of budget do you have?

You should look for a Fortron/Sparke power supply, they are cheaper than most quality supplies and they are damned good.
