I have been thinking about getting a new power supply but having read through more posts I realize that I have done nothing to tweak my existing one. I have to admit I didn't even know it was possible. Can anyone give me some advice as to how this is done.
As background, I have an ecs k7vta3 v1 mobo, 1.4ghz t-bird, 40mb ibm 7200rpm drive, 512 pc2100 memory, Inno3d Ti4200 video. I have tried two 300w power supplies, an Allied and a Powerup. With the Powerup I get random lock ups within a few minutes of boot up and with the Allied I have had one lock up in several days. When I put in my old ati Rage video card the system locks up less frequently with the Powerup, and I haven't tried it with the Allied. Thanks for any advice.
