750 watt psu for £33, man get that out of your machine and tell whoever recommended you that to change profession as they do not have a effin clue.

disgrace, such power supply could damage all good components you have in your pc, never, never skimp on psu

I know that budgets can be tight, but this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-045-OK&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1709 is decent power supply at decent price, maybe not the best example, but others may have better suggestions

Get a decent PSU, The Corsair 400w will do or OCZ 500w.

You know, I lol'd at that, as I'm one of the blokes that got a hiper type R 580W from recommendations from so called pro's.... Yeah and we all know how most of them ended up... Going bang..!!

I've now since took the advice from this board and stumped up for a better PSU..

Anyhow, yes I agree with the other comments... Best to find yourself a not too cheap but affordable 500W replacement....

Don't worry about being recommended stuff from here. These chaps on here know what they are talking about.....
