uh ohhhhhhh!

alright, so I am putting in a new stick of 512 mb's of ram, and I already had 512 in there.. and then I try to turn on my computer... sooooo, my power supply crapped, out... not only is that my problem, I put in an old power supply and took out some of the ram so it would run... and my computer gets to the windows xp loading page and then restarts. Then it will restart over and over, anyone know what is going on? And what size power supply do I need?

 

can you list your system specs? I can't really tell you what psu you need unless i get some system specs.

but odds are, it's your power supply being insufficient

 

amd 1800
20 gb maxtor
40 gb maxtor
512 mb kingston
256 mb crucial X2
windows xp
dvd/cd burner

 

i'd say a 350 watt decent power supply, although a very very good 300 might run it. if you're going the less expensive route, you'll want a 400 watt.

if you're in need of a new psu, you should take a look at this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-970&depa=0
