why? If it works with my 300W
Abu, I know you think your power supply is just great but you don't ever say that it's not a "true" 500 watts.
A simple test ( divulged after much wheedling and bourbon from my local guru) is just to listen to your fans at startup.
If your PSU is marginal, the fans will lag a bit when the PC boots up and then gain normal operating speed. Nothing dramatic mind you, but you would hear it. I don't have experience with a lot of different machines, but the theory sounds good....

ya thats a good tip clocker
but u realy doubt that a comp with only 2 HDs is haveing any troble with a 300w psu unless its bad 300w is pleanty unless u have a bunch of junk hooked up to like lights and a bunch of fans
i no, but is his a tru 300 watt? besides, 500 watt is 500 watt.Originally posted by Virtualbody1234@16 November 2003 - 14:11

i have a comp with about what he has running off a 200 watt PSu from thermalltake, and the fans start up really fast, and then slow down...

Sorry to inform you, abu, but you have been mislead. Not all 500watt power supplies are equal.
That a look at this article: Inadequate and Deceptive Product Labeling:
