| Ok, so like I got back my computer yesterday from getting fixed . One of the first things I did was check what PSU got placed inside. It's a Browler (or something like that) 300 Watter. Is this any good for my system, or will it just blow out again? ![]() | ||||||||||||||

| 300 watts is a bit sparse, particularly for a generic branded unit (I've never heard of Browler and any variation on that spelling). How many amps is on the +12V rail? Should say on the side label. Your sig's system is not particularly power hungry, so that's a plus in your favor. Even still, I wouldn't look at making any upgrades until you get something beefier in there. | ||||||||||||||

| It is an OEM PSU, so I'm sure it'll work to it's specification otherwise HP would have thousands of bites in their ass. - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - DFI Infinity 975X - 4GB Corsair XMS2 w/ DHX DDR2-800 - 250GB Seagate 7200.10RPM + 160GB Hitachi 5400.4RPM - ATi Radeon X1900XT 256MB - Cooler Master Centurion 5 + OCZ StealthXStream 600W - Acer 19" P191W Monitor - Logitech Z-5500 Digital + Logitech MX Revolution - Vista Ultimate x64 | ||||||||||||||

| I highly doubt HP would build a system with a PSU that couldn't support it. You're fine. | ||||||||||||||
