the operating system might be to much of a stress for the computer.

What exact brand and model is your power supply? The label will tell, if you aren't sure.

My power suppy is a turbolink model 420atx 12v (429w max)

I bet your PSU can't hack it. Try a low-powered video card. If it begins to work, there is your evidence. Grab one of those Enermax units with the dual 12V rails, Newegg has a 420W one around $70.

i'm sorry... i got a nice laught out of this one.. i hope you checked his specs..


also i agree w/ getting a new psu even if you don't need it considering turbolink isn't a name I've even heard of.

Try to get a namebrand, and it might not only fix your problem but most likely prevent other more serious problems in the future.
