do i need better psu?

[Rovtar]

ok i have problem

but i think it's because 300w isn't enough for my system..

i am running
core 2 duo E4500
asus p5ld2-x
sapphire 2600 pro
1 gb ddr2 8000 super talent
40 gb of disk
dvd rw

so do you guys think that problem here is psu or something else

computer boots normal but when i get screen with safe boot, safe boot with networking... and i click one of this computer restarts....

[Movieman]

I would want at least a good quality 430w PSU for that but I'm a big beleiver in overkill on PSU's..

Exactly what I thought. Is it an OEM or a decent A-grade PSU?

[littleowl]

I am with Dave on this one but I think this is just a normal bsod from winblowz! You need a good fdisk and reinstall of winblowz. :D

[Rovtar]

it's non name lol..

ok i will change my psu and i will see :D

[Bail_w]

You should at least list the brand, model and specs of that 300w power supply, because not all 300w psu have the same specs. besides, i would say 380w or 400w is the least i would go. A good choice would be the antec earthwatt 380 or 430w psu, cheap and very stable.

hmm will Xilence Power XP400 or Power LC420H 420W handle my setup?

[SparkyJJO]

LC420H sounds like it is made by L&C which is utter crap. A lot of L&C built PSUs start with LC in the model name. Not sure about Xilence, haven't heard of them.

i am lucky..

i will get enermax 420w very cheap:)

And that is a pretty decent brand etc...and 420W should be sufficient for it.

i just wanna add that i have a xilence nt, 480 W. Has cost me 30€ new, and it is really good. Silent operation and very very stable Voltages.

My main rig (q6600, 4gb ram, and 8800 GTS) is running off a 320watt Antec PSU. :)
It's been running so for few months now.

Even my dual Barcelone (8 cores) rig only consumes 170 watt total at full load.

Ahah !
I threw it away as soon as I got my new BIOS chip for Tyan mobo. Yes, it is MUCH, (I am not kidding here), better heatwise.

L1N is a garbage and a failure (in design).
