450848 2006-05-01 08:36:00 Hi there guys, I have spent the weekend driving all over the countyry side trying to get my bloody pc to go . I have a ASUS A8N-E running a AMD Athlon 3000+ 64bit CPU and a Geforce 6600gt with a 580w power supplie and it would only boot to the post screen, then hang . I tried resting the BIOS and trying to reinstall the Operating System but to no avail . A friend told me to strip it down to the basics and it worked . So I am thinking that it is the power supplie . Because the video card and the cd & dvd rom are stealing to much power . Has anyone else had this problem with not enought grunt out of a 580wpsu . If so what is the resolution to fixing it without spending $241 for a 690w psu from pricespy .

**** it would have been cheaper to buy a new mother board that a power supplie at that price .

I would love to hear what you have to say on this problem .

Thanks

numbers are all good, BUT is it a quality psu? as in, 400-600w psu's are putting less voltage through the 12v rail than higher quality 300w PSU, what brand is it? or is it oem?

450850 2006-05-01 09:07:00 get a silverstone ST405 and you should be fine, btw i cant find any task psu of that range, oem are often like sony, a bazillion watts 6x9 that is really under 100wrms Tux (606)
