I've just swapped my mini form board and 900 mhz duron cpu for a full
size board (AS Rock) and a 2.6Mhz CPU. We had to use a socket doubler
for one of the power leads. Now, when i have the computer running and I
plug in my broadband modem to the usb port, the machine powers off. if I
start the machine up woith the modem plugged in, it powers off halfway
through the startup process. I'm guessing that this is to do with the
amount of power I am trying to get from my psu ( a 300watt Universal)? I
jhave 2 hard drives and 2 optical drives connected too, as well as a
graphics card and a floppy.
Should I just get a new psu - will this fix the problem? And if so,
which one should I get?
Oh, and I don't have a case fan, though the graphics card has a fan of
its own
cheers
