hi there,
i'm trying to combine a mixture of old pc parts to upgrade my brothers PC.
so far everything works together but when i install an Asus EAH4350 SILENT/D1/1GD2/A to the system and boot the pc, i get a black screen upon bootup and nothing more.
the pc system i am using is a Compaq Presario SR1000. Product number: SR1519UK.
i think the problem could be the lack of power as the system only packs an Enermax EG365AX-VE(G) S FC A 353W power supply. i don't know if this is enough power to boot the system along with the 2x 512mb corsair RAM i added to the system.
could anyone confirm to me whenever i am right with my assumption about the power supply or is it something else i am missing? if i am right with my assumption could you then help me out with how to calculate how much Wattage my system will need please so i can work out what power supply replacement to get?
Cheers!
