The pictures I can find make it look like a standard power supply. Pick a tier one supplier off the Tier List.

Open it up and check to make sure you have normal connections, you should have a 24 pin and a 4 or 8 pin to the motherboard, if you have more than that or don't have those then you're in trouble. HP recently started being dicks and using proprietary power connections again, hopefully your's is a standard PSU.

This XFX power supply is the same size as the one in your hp.


Your board is powered by a 4 pin and 24 pin.
