In reference to my computer shutting off all the time..every few seconds or minutes...power just cuts out....

Ok new power supply is in. Yes this is #3. I bought a barebones system when my old junky "refurbished" computer had had enough. Well that 350W power supply totally died. Had it tested too. It was bad. Replaced with hercules switching power supply, 400W single fan. Thought maybe that one went bad so I ordered a new one that just came today and it's in right now. The new one's an Arrow 500W switching power supply, dual fan. It came in a box. (previous did not) Box says "over current protection, over power protection, short circut protection, 100% full load burn-in". Hav eno clue what that means. Does that mean this power supply is better?

I hope this is enough system info...sigh.......

WinME 4.9.3000
"System name: IBM22761735687" - WRONG - sold the IBM NetVista, kept the hard drive, replaced with a generic barebones system without o/s because it's all I could afford.
Manufacturer: ECS
Model M863
type X86-based PC
AMD Athlon 1GHz
128MB RAM
C: Maxtor (sp?) 10GB 5600 (is it?) rpm HDD - this is the old drive out of the IBM from PeoplePC which used to sell USED computers when they did sell computers. I need it because it has my o/s and they did not give me a Windows CD.
D: Maxtor 40GB 7200 rpm HDD
Generic FDD
Ricoh CD-R/RW MP7063A
IBM E54 monitor
SiS integrated video/audio
C-Media WDM Audio Device
Ezonics EZ Cam II
Standard 101/102 keyboard
HSP56 modem
IBM Scrollpoint II mouse (driver only) actual Micro technologies generic mouse
Lexmark InkJet USB printer

Oh...and I also run 2 additional case fans (the ones with LED lights) and a dual fan HDD cooler on each drive.

Is that enough system info?
