I can confirm from own expirience so far... Some 300-350 Watts power supply are required to drive an older Athlon with a grafics board that consumes more power than just the office adapter would need. I found it tightly related to heavy 3D usage peaks. And it often happened already in the first moments when launching some application. But to clarify, its not always the power supply, but sometimes its caused by things like system lockups due to failed bus transfers. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dieter N�tzel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 22:04 > To: DRI-Devel > Cc: Zilvinas Valinskas > Subject: Re: [Dri-devel] Radeon 7500 + AMD761 Locks machine > > > On Wednesday 15 May 2002 04:31, Zilvinas Valinskas wrote: > > [-] > > Now with 400W ... it is completely gone ... no random > lockup because of > > radeon ... :| > > GREAT to here. > > > I can see now why random lockups happen given what is > loaded inside computer > > : (all because cheap power block ????) > > YES! > > > MB: KT7A-RAID / Athlon 850Mhz (not overclocked) > > 4HDD (7400 rpms) (RAID enabled) > > cdrom > > Radeon VIVO 64 > > SB Live!
