Hello, I'm new to the forums. I was unable to find the info I needed in previous posts, so.... I have an HP Pavillion 360n with an Athlon XP 1900, 512mb ram, and a *cough* 200w *cough* power supply (I'll definitely build my next PC!). I recently swithced from a Geforce 3 video card to a Radeon 9500 128mb (non-pro). After installing all of the drivers, I was still getting artifacts when gaming. Also, after a while I got a few random reboots. Is my wimpy PSU the problem? Also, if I need to change it, do I need to get a particular kind? I don't know if it helps but here's the specs HP sent me on my PSU...
DC Voltage Current
+12V 4.0 A
+5V 25.0 A
+3.3V 16.0 A
-5V 0.3 A
-12V 0.5 A
I apologize if this is a foolish post, but I'm just now getting into computers. Thank you very much.
