Hi,

I'm having a few problems getting my PC to run stably with my new Pulsar II board. After solving a few other problems, my PC is now still unstable, but randomly crashing in no systematic way.

Could this have anything to do with my power supply? Do you have any recommendations on how large a power supply whould be? (I.e. perhaps minimum 400 W). I'm also running a graphics card with its own cooler, which also sucks up a little energy.

Thanks again for the help

kind regards
Tim

i think 400w is a good idea. don't get a "bargain" supply either. a cheap supply may be rated very high but it will probably have very poor real world performance.

here is a PSU calc
