Hi there, I need some information as to if my PSU is good enough for my system.

Right now, sometimes I have to hit the power button 3 or 4 (or more) times before the monitor and other devices will power on. It seems it's just on the cusp of not being able to handle it?

These are my specs:

19" NEC CRT (fp912sb)
1700+
gigabyte 7vrx
512mb samsung pc2700
asus ti4200-8x
thermaltake 5000 tower (quite a few fans)
lite-on burner, dvd drive, and 2 hard drives (120JB, 80gb maxtor)
sound blaster live value

my power supply is a 350W enermax
do i need to buy a more powerful one?

thanks!

I had problems with my 350w enermax and my epox 8RDA+ booting. I guess enermax doesn't get along with epox boards. I switched to a temporary Antec 300W and its doing great.

i had a 350 enermax and it wasnt enuff for me.

get a 350 antec or better.

i would reccomend 450 antec should be more than enough.
