hello, i was wondering if could help me figure out if my computer dosnt have a big enough power supply. its a generic 420 watt power supply and its powering 2 cd-roms, 2 harddrives, a amd64 2800+, a radeon 9800, and three fans (not including powersupply fan). i was wondering if im draining to much power from it and if i need an upgrade. occasionaly, the computer will crash and i think its do to power. are there any formulas i can use? thanks for the help.

Blimey, I'd be pretty disappointed if a hefty 420watt PSU couldn't handle everything I could squeeze into the case - you can't go much bigger than that!

Have you considered a DNG connection (Direct National Grid), lol

Sorry, I know that doesn't help much but, personally, I'd be looking for a different cause of the problem ...... or getting the manufacturer to swap out the PSU for a replacement under warranty.
