125 Watt Powersupply can it power a duron 700mhz?

[DavidTan]

my pc turn on for about 1 min, and it doesn't anymore. I have a duron 700mhz cpu, burner, motherboard, videocard, heatsink fan that is hooked up to the powersupply? now it doesn't turn up anymore. Do you think it because it a 125 watt? Please let me know what wrong it? Therefore, I need to get at least a 250watter?

please move to techical section?

I don't even think my P166 had something as weak as a 125w PS

it is probably just borked

i ran a cube pc with a 120W power supply, duron 650, cd, hd etc

oh, don't run a burner with a weak power supply , that is bad juju

There are people over at AVSforum running 1800+ chips on 200 watt PS's....

Im about to find out in a week or so if my 2400+ rig will run on a 230 watt 😀

It's probably the PSU. I doubt it's supplying enough juice on the 12V line to support the AMD chip.

It is possible it may run, but that is a horribly low wattage. You should have atleast 300W for any kind of Desktop built within the last 4 years.

Don't just blindly buy a PSU. Firingsquad has a nice guide on how to find a winner in the crowd. What you want is a strong 3.3v+5v "combined voltage" as well as a good amp rating on the 12V line. A PSU rated for "420W" may only put out a standing 150W on the 3.3/5 combined, and don't even dream of running an older PSU with a 12V core CPU (AMD, P4) because the low 12V rail will give you instability out the wazoo.

Make sure it's a quality one, not some generic brand!
