| I need info on PSU requirements. I got a new machine as a birthday present. Because I really like to play video games, I spent many hours during the day on my PC. However, I have one strange problem. From time to time, my Compaq laptop is switching on and off on its own. Friend told me that I probably should upgrade my PSU because my PSU voltage levels are too low. Is that my problem? Is there a way for figuring out laptop's PSU wattage? I also have a problem with not pocking up home wireless network. Where can I find the driver for my Ethernet network card? |

| Your friend obviously means that you have a week PSU for your PC configuration and that you have to buy a bigger and "stronger" version of PSU, which can give your computer more electric power. I have to disagree with him. By my experience, you have one of two problems. First, your PSU unit may be bad and that is why it is loosing its power from time to time. The second and more probable one reason is that you have a problem with overheating. The heating system of your Toshiba laptop is not working well and whenever your laptop reach the critical temperatures, BIOS turns it of to prevent the damage of the CPU. To check that, after next restart go to the BIOS and check the temperature of your CPU and system. It should not be over 75 degrees. About wireless network, check the drivers for your Ethernet network card. You can find the latest drivers for your card on the Compaq site. If it is OK, you probably have a problem with your wireless signal, therefore try to install some access point. |
