They are cheap enough to buy.

Have a look at this and do you see where it says 450W tell us what yours says.

Wattage is irrelevant mate for the sake of testing.

The point I was trying to make was don't get a 350 or whatever when the system had a 500.

Ok everyone it says 300 W on the side of power box thingy :)

Isit easyer to put it in the shop as i might change the psu and it still might not work :S ?

Rough idea how much it could cost me ?

Thanks

A PSU is around £25

If it isn't that its probably motherboard @ £50ish

You may need RAM, graphics card card and/or CPU depending on how old your current motherboard is. Lets asume £150ish.

If you are completely PC illiterate and changing a PSU seems daunting, go down the repair shop route.

What spec is your machine?

Right click 'My Computer' on your desktop and select properties.

The Processor and RAM info will be at the bottom of the window that opens.
