I installed the geforce 9500 gt 1gb low profile video card, with my 160w power supply, will i have problems? its a HP slimline s3620f.|||160w seems very low for a desktop computer these days.

400w would seem to a minimum, 500w or 600w (as is mine) would be better. I also have a Geforce video card and work it pretty hard.

Too small a power supply can cause lots of problems from loss of performance to overheating to system failures as I know from experience.

Good power supplies are not so expensive and easy to install.|||4 things can happen



your graphic card will work normal but it will not be able to perform full power cause its not getting enough power outta your psu



your graphic card works but when you try to play some high demanding game that starts to crank your graphic card up, your computer may shut off any other things using power off your cpu to give the power to your graphic card, such as your hard drive or comp monitor resulting in a blank screen or a blue screen of death



your graphic card just wont work at all and your comp wont boot up with it



or your graphic card will work like normal but because it is over stressing your psu so much, your psu will overwork itself and has high probability of breaking on you causing it to fry your entire comp(this tends to happen with the crappier brand power supplies as brand name such as corsair or silver stone strider psu are very durable)



if your psu is a raidmax brand id highly suggest replacing it as fast u can as they have terrible reputation for destroying comps when overloaded|||With 160W, I would say so. That isn't much, less than half the recommended rating, which is only or high quality PSU's, which your HP isn't.|||I would go with a higher wattage like a 600w
