Naeem Hossain reacted to CJH123 in Pc won't post (Zotac gtx 750 1gb ddr3)
I have an idea, this will probably atleast resolve any issues with windows. If you can make a Linux USB, boot up to it and just do whatever web browse etc... See if it runs stable. Then perhaps do something more intensive if you can. If it still crashes out then its hardware. It could be the PSU, but the system I have built for my mother and use a little here and there has a 1GB GDDR5 Zotac GTX 750 and that's running from a 300 watt PSU.
By for I'm not a Linux fanatic but it helps sometimes to just whip a quick live distro on a USB stick and see.
One more test I can think of is to try running Windows in safe mode and see if that yields any other result. Could be a driver issue.

Try putting that gpu in some friends system to see if it works correctly. If it does than the psu is probably the problem.

It may be fine for now but I would recommend a new psu as soon as you can, don’t play any too demanding games either.

i have the 750 w version of this psu, 650w should be more than enough for your system.
Edit: also it’s fully modular so it should look better as well and be easier to work with when installing.

The video doesn’t load, My internet is down and I’m using lte on my phone and lte is godawful. But I still think the power supply is the issue, if you keep trying to power it on the psu may actually blow up and destroy other things in the system please just unplug your system and don’t turn it on again until u get a new psu. Even a 20 watt increase could have messed up that psu based on what it is.

Naeem Hossain got a reaction from Lurick in IS 230 watt enough?
Thank you very much guys for your time and contributions its really appreciated.

Naeem Hossain reacted to mariushm in IS 230 watt enough?
You could also just go by those two lines to keep things simple.
5v + 3.3v + 12v combined load = 200w
5v + 3.3v combined load = 95w
200w - 95 w = 105 watts on 12v
A bit off topic, but I strongly suspect that the power supply is even worse in reality, and probably has a couple 3A or 4A diodes on the heatsink, instead of a proper rectifier package for 10-15A (more than the 9A rating for safety)

Naeem Hossain reacted to Spotty in IS 230 watt enough?
Wow, that must be old.
According to the label it can only output a maximum of 9A on the 12v rail, which is 108w. CPU and GPU are powered by 12v. Effectively that's a 100w PSU.
Probably not worth spending money upgrading such an old system with a core 2 duo CPU. Save your money and buy something else, even like an old Dell office PC with a 3rd gen i5 or such would be an improvement.

That power supply can provide 12v x 9A = 108 watts on 12v
Considering your system currently already uses around 50-60 watts out of that, according to my estimations, you're left with around 40 watts for a video card.
The power supply is too weak. It's not worth searching and buying a video card that consumes so little power, because you lose too much performance.
Rearrange your budget to buy a better power supply with enough power on 12v (don't just look for a high number of watts on the label, must be enough watts on 12v output) and then you'll be able to buy used video cards that are cheap but use a lot of power and have decent performance.

that doesnt really mean anything lol
efficiency has nothing to do with quality

e6500 - 20-30 watts
ram - 2-3 watts
mobo - maybe 10w
ssd - 2 watts
dvd rw - up to 10w when writing discs , around 5w maybe when playing discs
fans , cpu cooler : 1-2 watts each
Your pc now probably uses around 60 watts, most of that from 12v output.
You have to figure out how much power your power supply can actually give on 12v output, because power supplies output multiple voltages like 3.3v and 5v and 12v.
It will be written on the power supply label. It will say 12v and some number with A after it, that's current. 12v multiplied by current value will give you the power the power supply can give on 12v.
The label may also say "total ouput on 12v should not exceed this many watts." <- that's the number you care about.
Your 230w psu may output 230 watts in total, but a portion of that 230w can only be given on 3.3v and 5v, which your video card can't use. So it's important to actually know how much is left after you take out what your pc consumes now (around 50-60 watts for the processor, fans, dvd writer)
So for example, if the power supply says maximum 180w on 12v, then you should assume you have around 180w - 60w (current estimation) - around 10-20w for safety = 100 watts for the video card.
You can probably buy any video card that doesn't have 6 pin pci-e connectors, the sweetspot being 1650 or 1650 super ... a video card without extra pci-e connectors will use less than 75 watts, so even if your computer now consumes close to 100 watts (really far fetched, unlikely), the psu should still have enough power left for such a video card.

Naeem Hossain reacted to Demogorgon in IS 230 watt enough?
It will be be sufficient given your current specs, but I recommend getting a 80+ certified power supply with a capacity of 450 Watts. You don't loose performance or damage your components by getting a higher Watt PSU.

Naeem Hossain reacted to GoldenGate in IS 230 watt enough?
The Gtx 750 should only take up 55 watts you should have enough.

Naeem Hossain reacted to Haro in IS 230 watt enough?
it could
but it might be a little tight
if this is not an oem build just upgrade your psu
even something like a vs450 will be A HUGE upgrade
