Your +12V is a bit low. Acceptable is +11.4V. Yours is 11.25V.
Verify with a multimeter (grab a Molex disk drive power connector
and measure the voltage there). If you have a spare power
supply, swap it in. Get help at a local computer store selecting
one - the label on the existing one has rating info, and the
store can suggest something with the same or more output
capability. There are certainly brands to avoid (Deer) and
if you have any question about what they are trying to sell
you, report back with brand/model info for the item they sell.

This thread separates PSU brands into tiers, for easier shopping.
