Extremely High VRM Power, Voltage, Current, Temp Readings

Took my ram out today to change one of my tubes. Put everything back and now HWINFO is showing extremely high VRM readings. I tested several long gaming sessions, etc. temps are fine, no performance issues, everything is normal. Other apps and my physical socket-electricity meter are showing normal values. Been running the same settings for months, no power limits. Went into the bios and set amps to 400 and PL1/PL2 to 320w and the readouts still show VRM power at 65,353 across the board. Deleted HWINFO and downloaded the latest non-beta version and same. Been using HWINFO for years, first time seeing this. Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions.

That looks like a collision with some other monitoring tool. Are you running anything else along with HWiNFO?
 
No. Just HWINFO. I opened Core Temp after I saw the 127c VRM reading and wanted to make sure I wasn't frying my system. But yea, I've been running the same settings/setup for months now, and didn't do any software updates or anything today. I'm wondering if the ram is causing the glitch somehow. It was the only odd thing I noticed after changing the tube. I was getting a "Detect Memory" error and couldn't post, even after clearing cmos etc. which never happens. I ended up cleaning the contacts on all the dimms and then everything was fine. After first boot and testing, the VRM readings were thrown off ever since.

RAM should have no impact on this.
What about ASUS AI Suite, is that not running either?
 
It's the culprit every time! Didn't bother to check Armoury Crate because I didn't see it do any updates. It must've updated/changed something behind the scenes. Problem solved. Thanks again.
