My system keeps crashing from time to time. If i am playing a game or the system is in idle state for long time. It just shuts down. And every time i restart it the windows xp scan disk thing comes on. I am fed up. tell me what is the problem. Is my PSU not meeting my power requirements.
I just changed my power supply recently,
and bought a decent 350 watt PSU. But same thing. now i have to disconnect my 2 casing fans and 2 cd drives to make the system work properly. Please help me to choose the best PSU for my system.

My system configuration are as follows:

Aopen ATX Case (QF50C)
PSU - JUPITER 350 Watt PSU (+3.3V/28A +5V/25A +12V/16A)
Motherboard - MSI 865PE Neo2
Intel Pentium 4 CPU - 3.0 GHZ (800 FSB)
Arctic-cooling 4PRO-TC Super Silent Fan installed
RAM - Kinsgton Value RAM - 512MB x 2 (Dual Channel)
2 System/Casing Fans installed
LG DVD ROM DRIVE
LG CD/RW 52X DRIVE
80GB Maxtor - 7200 RPM
40GB Seagate - 7200 RPM
Gainward Geforce 4 Ti4600 - 128MB

Please help me with this problems ASAP...

 
You might wanna look at the antec true power series of power supplies. I think for your setup, at 430w should be plenty. I have a true blue 480w and it works great with 2 optical drives, 2 hdds, 5 case fans, and a radeon 9800 pro
 
A jupiter PSU? Never heard of those...Sounds like a generic.

This definitely sounds like a power issue. Do you live in the US? What would be your budget for a new PSU?
 
well Jupiter it says i guess.
its not a brand name in PSU's but its the best we get here.
I live way far away from US. I live in United Arab Emirates.
By the way thanx for the help. I guess i will have to get BFG power supply thats what we get here only. Even Antec PSU is hard to find here.
 
BFG makes PSUs? 😕

What brands do you have to choose from? And what retailers/online stores are you buying from?
