I have an Sony VAIO PCV-RS 430G and I have recently installed a second hard drive and started having issues with not having enough power for my graphics card BSOD with boot up error about not having enough power.
Specs:
PSU: 295W
RAM: 2GB PC2700
HDD: 200GB WD 7200RPM and 250GB Maxtor 7200RPM.
GRAPHICS: ATI HD 4650 DDR3 1GB AGP X8. (Uses one Molex power connector)
OS: Windows XP SP3 on 250GB HDD and Windows 7 SP1 on 200GB HDD.
DRIVES: DVD-RW/DL-R, DVD-RW, and Floppy A
OTHER: Video tuner card on PCI port.
Currently I have unplugged both of my DVD drives and floppy A drives. Computer boots up with both HDDs plugged in and no issues. One problem is that I don't have an available molex cable for my DVD drives anymore. I used the cable that had both of the DVD drives for my graphics card. My two HDD use up my other two molex cables and that's all I have. I was looking online to see if I could get the Floppy A female 4 pin to molex but to my surprise no such cable exist. I saw Floppy A cable to SATA and SATA to molex cable but then I would be spending like $12 on cables. Then I will either run into having too little power again. Therefore I thought perhaps it would be just simpler to get new PSU. In the past I google for PSU that would work but none will properly fit the Sony case. I don't know if now there is a good Micro ATX that could somewhat fit maybe with some ghetto glue it there I could make it work.
I need a 400W-500W PSU. Unless if there is a good 350W 80 Gold rated matx PSU that i could use. Price wise I would like something between $30-$50 if possible.
It needs to have 5 Molex cables, 2x for HDDs, 1x for GPU, 2x DVD drives, and 1x Floppy 4-pin.
Also needs 20 PIN board connector and 1 x P4 connector.
