Upgrade the power supply on a Sony Vaio Desktop (PCV-rx462ds)
Hello!
I recently bought a better video card (GeForce FX5200, 256MB VRAM) for my Sony Vairo Desktop (P4 1.3 GHz, 512MB RAM). Unfortunately, my power supply is inadequate, and the only way to get the card to work was to disconnect my DVD-ROM from the power supply. I want to get a new power supply (300Watts or more), but I don't know (a) which ones will be compatible (there's no label on the current power supply), and (b) the risks of installing a power supply with higher wattage than the one the system came with. I would really appreciate responses from anyone with answers to one or both of these questions. And if there's anything I'm missing, I'd appreciate being made of aware of that, too. Many thanks! TM |
