Antec 350 smart power?

[BruceMyers48]

I have a antec 350 smart power pS in an antec case. I had trouble with the PC freezing all of a sudden. I suspected PS. I changed it to a thermotake 430 and seems to be fine. I was running a 64 bit amd 3200 with 1 gig of corsair mem 3200 and a 6200/256 mem geforce Video card.I had the 250 gig HD and Dvd Burner, floppy. I thought the smart power 350 would be enough watts for the system. Has any one had any problems with this PS. Thanks Bruce

How old is that 350w psu? The capacitors age on psu's and you start losing power output over the years, if it's at least 2-3 years old it may not be putting out 350w anymore.

yah, but the smartpower 350w is a solid PSU.


if the PC froze it wouldnt be the PSU. if it shut off or crashed then it would be the PSU
