try looking at the lower end NVidia GPUs. a GeForce GT 720 is about $50 on newegg and not only does it have HDMI input, it will give your computer a performance boost also. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487062 here's one from EVGA that's about $50. your computer will...

It does not need to have a seperate source-based game, however, it does run on the source engine. If you but and download it off of Steam and it does not work (as perhaps I could be wrong despite my personal experience with GMod), then Team Fortress 2 is a good source based game that requires no...

Ummm... I don't know what to say about what I found out about my graphics card a few days ago. I was trying to see if I could find ANY form of information on it apart from the newegg site, and 1: its been taken off of newegg, leaving absolutely no way to obtain this card anymore and originally I...

Well, I got the parts, put them in, booted windows 10, Prime95'd it, downloaded MSI Kombustor, ran both at the same time, PSU seems to handle it just fine. when under load everything goes up to about 60°C, in idle (20-30% cpu and 0% gpu) the gpu hangs out at 32°C and the CPU hangs out at ~39°C...

@Math Geek, I've already mentioned multiple times that I have already tried to change the PSU, and it didn't work. How many times do I have to pound that fact into people's head before they understand that my dell is just one of those models? That is the reason I started this forum in the first...

guess what? i just found out that the graphics card I got is unique to me for the time being. I'm going to take advantage of that and make the very first unboxing video for it; when you look for evga GTX 750 FTW edition w/ acx cooling on the internet, all you can find is the evga 750 Ti FTW...

i believe my PSU would have already failed half a year ago, if what you say is true, MasterDell.The most I've done related to having my computer completely off is either restarting it or power outage. and guess what? I don't even have a surge protector. if it were becoming more susceptiple to...

well, i'm on a budget, and to keep it around $200, i've got an EVGA GTX 750 in my newegg cart that is currently on sale for $99.99. will stick with the 750. I have an nvidia shield and want to take advantage of the streaming features incl. with having a gtx650+ and compatible cpu on top of the...

ah, I found a forum where someone posted a photo of the PSU label, uploaded it to my imgur. this should help? http://i.imgur.com/N8ukuOS.jpg

i want to know if it will work before i order the core 2 quad. I know the graphics card will work if i get just it or it and the hard drive, as the one I currently have actually pulls more power. what I'm worried about is if the extra power pull of core 2 quad vs the 65 watt pull of my current...

@MasterDell done tried with a 500 watt PSU. didn't work. I need to know if my CURRENT psu will handle it, as I cannot replace it as it will not work as I have already tried and failed. Have I not already explained that other power supplies will not work? Anyway, thanks for trying to solve my...

System: Dell XPS 410 NVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB 4x 2GB DDR2 RAM (@1066Mhz i think not sure) VIA vinyl PCI soundcard two 5200RPM HDDs a DVD+RW drive Core 2 Duo... 1.86GHz not sure which model specifically not around it to check. it's rated 65 watts though. 375 watt stock psu, can't check the...

well, terry, you are right yet you are wrong. i chose you as answer anyway because it still kind of solved my question. you were right by there ARE bad things that can happen on those model PC's, but you were wrong about the listing of the Dell XPS 410 being listed there. thanks for the help though

i'm getting yes, im getting no, so confusing!

the one i found on amazon was probably an imitation that barely runs right XD well i'm pretty sure the dell psus are like name brand PSUs- constant. unless you find an imitation brand, like Genuine, or just some plain old off-brand, like the ones that case manufacturers produce, you're getting a...
