Not to get into cat fight 8^) but the specs you quoted would be easily
handled by a decent 250. The X-Factor here though is that no PSU
actually
puts out the power it's rated at. You can google around to verify
that.
I have two systems currently runnng quite happily with 250 W. They are
clones of each other
Specs are Mobile Celeron 1.7 running at 2.8 GHz, two 256 meg ram
sticks,
Three HD's (20, 80 and 160 gig) 128 meg mx440 agp video, DVD/CD
cutter,
two tuner Cards, Firewire card, FD, .
No offense, but I think my two PVR systems probably "outsuck" the
system
you're specing. Which doesn't at all rule out that your PS is not
providing
enough juice, but in practice should.
O.K., maybe you're right on this one. But I guess that either way, we
can trace the cause of many of these problems to being caused by some
kind of problem with the PSU, and the problem is best solved by
replacing the PSU with one of higher quality.
Peace,

While I am taking your advice rather seriously, I think I'm going to
stick with underpowered. After looking at the PSU, it's only rated to
about 250 Watts. Something tells me that an AMD Athlon 850 MHz with
256 MB of RAM, 10/100 Mib NIC, 56k Modem (I plan to remove this), PCI
VGA card, Sound card, and a Hauppauge PVR-150 might draw a little
more power than 250 watts.
No offense.
Agreed, that and flaky RAM have bitten me in the past. All kinds of
strange errors cropped up in both cases, and I wasted a lot of time
troubleshooting...
I don't think the RAM is the problem here, but I'll keep that in
mind.
Thank you both for the advice.
