How many watts is the power supply? also, what speed processor do you have, and how many hard drives?

I think the power supply is 350, my processor is an athlon 3500 and i have one 250 gig drive that came with the system and a 120 that had a bunch of my crap on it from my old comp.

You might want to try a heavier-duty power supply. If your CPU is a regular AMD and not an AMD 64, I have a 580w Power Supply you could try.

Ah Rob tells me it's an AMD 64 :(

scumm_boy February 21 2007, 16:50:37 UTC

Crap :( I have a power supply that doesn't have the 12v lead required by AMD 64 :(

Das cool, thanks for the thought hun!

No problem. Mid to high watt power supplies are getting fairly cheap... If you were going to go with a bigger one, I'd suggest 500+ Watts as an optimal choice.

We thinking that it might be underpowered?

scumm_boy February 21 2007, 17:29:42 UTC

Yeah, 350W is a touch low for a current PC with a decent video card and two hard drives. I could have given you a 580w that I'm not currently using, but it doesn't support the newer motherboards :-/
