Im thinking of buying an EVGA 8800GTS 320MB, but I don't know if my power supply is adequate enough for it. According to my power supply at the moment (Speedfan) here are the voltages:

+2.5: 1.47V
Vcore: 1.27V
+3.3: 3.35V
+5: 5.12V
+12: 12.06V

I know it says on the item description that it needs to have a minimum of 400watts/+12V rating of 26amps, im just not sure if my power supply can get up that high with the +12V rating and not sure how many watts it can put out. I looked on 3 different sides of the power supply for a readoff of the ratings, but I didnt see them. Im guessing its either on the side thats blocked from my view,cause its IN my computer, or theres no list of ratings. Please can someone tell me if you think it can handle an 8800gts or am I gona need to get one?

Ok, when i start my Laptop, It gets stuck on the microsoft windows xp blue screen, also i noticed my battery does not charge, but does that have anything to do with starting my computer even if i have the electric plug connected, all this happened after i uninstalled windows blind and restarted the computer, now it does not completely start, do you have any solution to fix this, i dont have the reboot disk for my xp, i was thinking about buying a new windows xp program, but i dont know if i can install it if it does not completely starts, the only thing i can do when i press the power button is the F2 option(Bios) and the F8(reboot) option but i cant start it on safe mode either, thanks for the help, i will give ten points

Hey guys, I've been trying to install a new pc, but I can seem to get it to turn on. When I first tried it, the power button lit up for a second then went off, and I'm getting no signs of power from anything. I've installed all the right parts and am pretty sure I've gotten everything connected right. I've tried switching power cords and ensuring the connections are not loose, but nothing seems to work. What could be the cause of this? Oh, and I've also tried different power supplies--one that I know works.

Im thinking about a Dell Inspiron notebook. This may seem really silly but please help! I cant decide between Spring green and Expresso Brown. I think I want the brown one more since the matching bag has a blue that I love, but im not sure if its too dark! I like the green, but its not that special. What do you think??

my comp..
256 MB of RAM

had it for about 4 years

BUT...it has crashed lots of times and had to be repaired

i also reinstalled windows about 3 times cause of the freezing problem (i thought reinstalling it would help)

i have 2 antivirus's (kaspersky and AVG anti spyware)

2 registry cleaners (registry mechanic and registryfix)

*the last time i got my computer fixed was by these weird computer compony called MS LEASING...they cleaned out my compter by taking off everything like brand new...they SCREWED UP lots of my registry...and i wasnt able to download some programs and had corrupt files in my computer. about a month later it crashed and i reinstalled it myself. it fixed all the corupted files but for some reason my computer kept freezing and became slower than before. so from then it has been acting up. when i reinstall windows its all fast and stuff, but it gets slow after about 1 day* the MS people also messed it up cause...i dont have windows genuine anymore...lost my serial

I'm running WinXP SP2 on an HP Pavilion *DESKTOP* and I'd like to set my PC to hibernate (not standby) after 60 minutes. However, the only option I have is a checkbox for "Enable Hibernation"- there is no option to specify how long to wait before hibernating. Can anyone tell me how to set it, or how long the system will wait before going into hibernation?

Thanks in advance.
