So I moved some furniture around and after plugging my computer back in I pressed the power button and heard what sounded like a spark and now my computer is dead, no power. I did the generic tests (try new cord, try new outlet, etc) I'm assuming the power supply needs to be replaced.

I'm short for cash and found an old power supply I have its: Antec model: Neo HE430. Can I run this power supply even though my video card is a Radeon 5750? Besides gaming I can't access my school files until I get his fixed. :cry:

My video card has a requirement of 450 watt, so why does my Antec Neo do the job? I'm not doubting you, I'm just asking for future reference and knowledge. Thanks.

Because of the strong +12 volt rail the recommendation is based on generic units that do not have that power available on +12 volts which is what most components use.

rolii is correct, you will be fine. the AMD recommendation is to cover bottom of the barrel PSU, that antec is a good PSU. with 32a on its 12v rail, the PSU can power cards like the AMD 6850.

Well it turns out I have to replace the power supply after all, as I was making the switch I noticed that anything with 6 hole connection for my video card only has 5pins in them. Examining my burnt out power supply I noticed that the one plugged into my video card has 6pins, which I believe is another requirement for my card. I looked for some connectors in the box but nothing.

I'm currently eyeing: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=3...

If anyone has another suggestion from that same website please let me know, as that store is the closest to me with the best pricing, I'm hoping to be at a max budget of $55 (being a student isn't cheap :pfff:  ), and sorry this thread is still going on.
