Well if it is reporting that your -12 volts is over it's limits, then it can either be:

1. Software is not correct, contact the M/B manufacturer and see if there is an upto date hardware monitor program.

2. Or your power supply is in fact supplying in excess of -12 volts, swap the PSU and see if it cures it.

Get a good quality one. Spend as much as you can possibly afford.
Nephilim spent more on his power supply than some of us spend on our whole computer.
