Not Enough Power From power Supply???

by lazybedstar23 . Updated 22 years, 5 months ago

Hello,

How are you? I am having an interesting problem here and I am hoping someone can help me out. Well let me tell you what the problem is. When ever I am on the internet or just using my PC, my Wireless Network card just loses IP out of the blue, sometimes along with that my mouse will stop!!! Then a simple reboot will fix it. I also notice my network connection to be slow at times, sometimes also i cannot burn a CD.

I think it is the power supply that Dell gave! They only gave me a 250W power supply! Here is my stats:

Dell Dimension P4 3.0Ghz (hyperthreading)
512 MB DDR RAM
ATI ALL IN WONDER 9000 (64MB Card)
SB Audigy 2 Sound Card
Linksys Wireless G PCI Card
DVD+RW Drive
DVD-ROM Drive
2 80 GB Hard Drives

And in the USB ports I have a UPS and webcam running.

Do you thin kthis is an overload to the Power supply? Also would not supplying enough power cause any damage to my components?

Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Adam
