Should be more than enough.
You really don't have that much in your computer. I don't know why your enlight 300w didn't work with it either unless it was bad ps.
You should be just fine with an Antec though, nice solid power supplys.

thanks for the reply...I know the computer doesnt have much stuff...but I've done almost everything to correct this problem and nothing has worked...

I replaced battery...updated bios...fail safe settings...

I hope it works..

I think it might of been electric "noise" with the ecs board, but like ConFuseMe said even that one should of been good enough.

I understand that the Enlight should have been enough...I looked up the PSU on the AMD page and it is approved up to an XP1600...but I figured that may be with a board that isnt as power hungry as the ECS....thus the new Antec that I'm picking up today from Best Buy..

It better work!
