Re: Help with PCmaking
 

Another question being thrown someones way!!! been reading some old threads and found one about another graphics card installation etc etc.. and they where on baout fitting a new power supply to it. would that be the case with my issue??

Re: Help with PCmaking
 

use what you have and see if its good enough

Re: Help with PCmaking
 

ok maybe dumb but how would you know if it isn't??? and please don't say if it starts smoking turn it off quick

Re: Help with PCmaking
 

well the system would struggle to power everything. If your just running 1 or 2 hard drives 1 optical drive and the card unless its a seriously rubbish psu it will work.One thing to watch for is if your mobo now has a 20 pin and the new one demands a 24 pin atx power supply.If you fancy a day out ill do it all for you for a nominal charge.?(unless of course your 200 miles away then you should maybe find someone closer lol )

My nvidia displays a nice warning when it's not getting enough power... something along the lines of certain features being disabled due to lack of power. You click OK, and another pop-up appears to replace it just as quickly.

That's how I knew it was time to replace my PSU (shame cause it was a very nice, virtually silent Antec 380W, but it just didn't want to work with my card :()
