I've got a small problem with my power supply - its died, I have a 400W power supply from an old desktop that works, but the dead power supply is 500W.

Can I use the 400W power supply in the 500W's place?
 
Solution
It all depends on what hardware you have installed. Can you post your full system specs please. (the GPU uses the most power on gaming machines usually)
