Power supply

[TheMaverick]

When I overclock my CPU my computer wont restart when I tell it to could this be because of a lack of power? Should I upgrade to a 400W Powersupply?

What do you mean by "won't start"? How did you overclock (clock multiplier/FSB)? What did you try to clock to? Try to be very specific.

Its normal that your CPU won't restart if you overclock too far. Try lowering your FSB and/or multiplier, it should probably post then. If you'd give more detailed specs it would help though.

Or perhaps increase your core voltage...but make sure you have some good cooling on your cpu.
