Default Power supply conversion resistor problem.

Hey guys, I am trying to increase the voltage out of the 12v rail via 2 1ohm 10 watt resistors in parallel on the 5v rail. Seemed like it worked as intended at first. Raised the volts from 12.3 to 12.9 but they got hot very fast even with no load and shut down the power supply. cut the resistors out and works fine like it did. Anyone know why?
