Power Problems

[Chu]

Last night I tried pushing my celeron a little more, upping the power to 1.65v. Unfornately, now it takes about 10-15 tries to turn on my computer. The computer comes on, does some stuff (with no output on my monitor), and then just stops. I was wondering if this might be because I've hit the limit on what I can drain from my power supply, which is only 235v. Oh yeah, I have a CD-R's, DVD drive, two hard drives, ethernet, modem, geforce2, TV Card (only card I've ever seen using ALL the power pins off the PCI bus), two fans . . . Pretty loaded

try pulling out all unnessesary hardware that are not required for booting.With only your HDD
RAM,Videocard and CPU,power it up.If it OC then you'll know you've got a power problem.What speed is your CPU?

566 celeron, old model (1.5v). It's on a MSI 6309 v1.0. Trying to push it right now to 100mhz @ 1.65v. Was running fine at 95 @ 1.60v
