hi peeps
a few days ago i brought a 550watt power supply made by coloursit (cheap i know) but it had 30 amsps on the 12 volt rail.
and i also got a new 2900gt.. i knew these had quite high power requirements (450w) so i brought i cheaper 550w thinkin it wud atleast deliver 450w. i checked my system power requirements on psu calculator and it sed id need 235watts at 90% load even with the 2900gt installed and all the rest of my components.
wen i had installed it all.. it worked fine (i even played olivion and cod 4) up until i decided to tidy cables.. all i did was move a few and i didnt even touch any of the components or the psu. when i plugged everythin back in, it wudnt power up. i thought it was the psu so i took it out and did that shortin thing to try and switch it on and still nuthin. im sendin it bk but do u reckon it was just a faulty one? or is it not up to the task? it worked fine earlier and it didnt seem like it was having trouble.
btw these are my specs
AMD athlon x2 3600+ 2GHz
1.5 gb corsair XMS2 DDR2 675 Mhz RAM
