MASSIVE problems lately.........3 days.........
The wife left my baby (computer), on the other nite in a HUNG mode (stuck on a boot, with a none boot disk in the floppy drive), I found it like this when I got home from work.......at 1am..so.....it was like that for at least 4hrs....
Had a really hard time getting it started ( had to lower it down to 1.33 and it finally started)
NOW, I've been worried about this one thing for quite sometime......PSU is a 300watt ANTEC.....is this technically a nuff power for the amount of things in my computer.....
I looked in HWFAQ's and found ( add all your watts together and mine is 325watts of stuff ( thats why the LIST ) then multiple by 1.5 and don't get near 70% of that #.
Well, 325 x 1.5 =487 ( is this the PSU that I need)
Sounds REALLY high for what I have, and compaired to what other people have.....so I just bought a ENERMAX 431watt I hope this would be enuff....I can't believe that it wouldn't be.........
Or did somebody ( my wife ) BURN up an AXIA 1ghz?
PLEASE SEND HELP?

Lastnite I got to check my totals of 3and5 on the 300watt Antec = 160 watt ( low rite?)
The Enermax 431 is = 240 (on it's way in the mail)

Everythings OK now, back up to 1402 ( no problems!!!)
(3 days later)
BTW some great threads on PSU's!!! Thanks for an EDUCATION!
