New Motherboard problems - Help!

bad1550 · December 24th, 2002, 03:25 PM

I recently installed new motherboard XFX P4XE-MVB along with Celeron 2.0 and 512 DDR PC-2100.

I finally got it running for a couple of days after installing new hard drive but now I am having problems.

The computer starts rebooting itself while running programs. I was running TmpGen encoding an .avi file when this happens. Also, when I am running Sonic MyDVD!

Please Help!

The power supply is only 120 watts. I tried upgrading to 250 watt but it does not fit into my e-machines case - its too big!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'ld suggest getting a new case with powersupply, at least 300W, generic should be fine, you should be able to pick on up for about 40$ canadian, or probably 30$ US.
