175119 2003-09-14 05:44:00 Just suped up old chaintech 7aia with new 80gig hd & 512 of ram, but system freezes at alternative times - can't seem to fix it? pc recognises new hardware, runs like it should but then suddenly freezes, no mouse action - no keyboard response.

Please help, please - am getting sore head from headbutting monitor!

175125 2003-09-15 04:35:00 Hey kiki, how do I find this out? and what do you recommend... jussy (4560)
175126 2003-09-15 04:43:00 I'm guessing that the new hardware you have added has increased the demand for power, and your current power supply can't supply it.

Open up your case again, and read the sticker on the PSU. Write down what it says for power output - not input, and get back to us.

You may need to buy a new PSU if it isn't enough. Otherwise we could be looking at a ram problem.
