[QUOTE="NorthernJohn, post: 143682, member: 18239"] Hi I've recently upgraded my machine by adding a 7600GS card (previously using on board gfx), a second SATA hard disk and a Hauppage Nova-T USB. For good measure, I reinstalled WinXP. Since then, my previously rock solid, WAF high "silent" machine has the fans on constantly at an audible level (not full but higher than before) but to make matters worse, I blue screen or generally just reboot from time to time. I'm no expert but I have a feeling that I now have either: 1. Too much inside my Silverstone 11m box and it is getting hot. Or 2. Not enough power from the 300W PSU. Inside the box I have: 7600GS graphics card Hauppage PVR150 2 x SATA drives PS2 mouse USB Keyboard USB Nova-T USB MCE Remote Receiver USB VFD Is that all too much for 300W? Any advice gratefully received. [/QUOTE]
