Go to the manufacturer's website and look up your model. You can also telephone the manufacturer and they will usually have a record of you purchasing the computer from them and they can tell you what it is. By today's standards 350w power supply is pretty low so your computer is probably OK but check first. When you assume something that's when things go bad.

Try seeing if it has a sticket on the side of the power supply. if not then contact HP. Most likely you have a 250w because most PCs don't come with a big power supply. also it is easy to change the power supply if you have to.

Try looking in the PC at the side of the power supply
HOWEVER, if they say to get a 350W power supply you might want to get a 400W or 450W PSU
I have an nVidia 7800GTX btw with a 550W PSU :)
Hope this helps,

Why ought to you opt for to? you could get a CoolerMaster 420watt popular ATX power furnish for $35 from newegg. A 250watt playstation gained't run a lot presently, you'll likely only set your gadget on hearth with it. Christ, 250w is what I had in my previous 386DX-20 decrease back interior the early 90s!

THERE MAYBE A TAG ON THE BOTTOM W/SERIAL NUMBER. ID FIRST MAKE A PHONE CALL TO A REPAIR SVC OR WHEREVER YOU BOUGHT IT. THEN IF THEY NEED TO SEE IT TAKE IT TO THEM.. IT SHOULDNT COST ANYTHING.A PHONE CALL FIRST TO A NEARBY REPAIR FACILITY MAY SAVE A TRIP.SEE YELLOW PAGES
