I need to know if my power supply ought to be replaced or not. I replaced my old one a couple of months ago, but due to finacial reasons I had to go the cheap route.
I bought this unit: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-167-007&depa=0
a MGE Vigor 400 watt power supply.
I have a P4 3.0, 2 HDs, 2 512mb chips of ram, and a BFG OC'd fx 5500 video card, and 1 fan. My computer has ran great, but recently I added the second HD, and occasionally I will turn on my computer and nothing will boot up, no image, no loading of the OS. I'm wondering if this is being caused by the PS being overworked.
Here is the voltage read outs right now, read by a program called PCAlert 4:
Vcore 1.50 - 1.54
3.3V: 3.26
+5V: 5.08
+12V: 11.64 - .70
Do these look alright?
If not, please recommend some good cheap Power Supplys, preferably no more than $50. Thanks
