A bad or failing power supply can cause a lot of problems, like your computer randomly restarting or not turning on at all. Here, we'll talk about how to replace the power supply and what to look for in a new one.
The power supply is the part of your computer that gives power to the other parts. It gives power to the hard drive, the CDROM, and the CPU. You might have to get a new one at some point.
When a power supply goes bad, the computer may randomly restart, crash, or even refuse to turn on at all.
There are a few things you should think about when replacing your power supply. Getting the right one for your computer is the most important thing to do. Most likely, your computer will use the ATX form factor. You also need to make sure that the power supply you get for your computer has enough power for its hardware. Most computers only need 300 to 400 watts. Make sure there are enough power connections and the right kinds of connections on the power supply.
It's pretty easy to change the power supply. Make sure the power cord is unplugged first! Then you can open the case and disconnect the power from the devices and the motherboard. Then you can take out the four screws on the back of the case and pull the power supply out from the inside. To put the new one in, you just have to do the opposite.
