I have a 235watt(I think that right) PSU and am wondering if I need to buy a 300watt? What things will happen if my system ain't getting enough power?

I am running a Duron,A7V,SB Live,Burner,CD-Rom,HD,Geforce 2 64mb,ram.

BSODs, random restarts, the smell of burning as your PSU dies are all signs that you need to get a better PSU. You might wanna be safe and get a new PSU, not too expensive, my 300w antec died with my athlon 700, geforce DDR, 2 hds, 4 fans, and 2 cd roms. i learned my lesson.

I like my 300w sparkle, it was cheap and its held up well so far. Got a tbird 1.2, a geforce 2, and all that other stuff and its working fine.
