For my computer at home, there is 2 rows of 4 power points on the wall. Plugged in I have power cords for:
- 1 x Y-cable (going to 17" monitor and my PC)
- 1 x 4 point speaker system + woofer
- 1 x modem
- 1 x PC cable to 15" monitor
- 1 x PC cable to second PC
- 1 x stereo speakers
Now, I've been having power probs from my PC lately, with random shutdowns, etc... so I was going to replace my 250W PSU with something bigger... however, I noticed that these problems only occur when the other computer is switched on. Secondly, when I ran a third computer from the power points while playing mp3z on my computer, when I switched the third one on the mp3 would stutter for about 5 seconds... So now i'm thinking there is simply a lack of power for all the devices coming from the wall...
So, after all that, will a new PSU actually help me here, or do I need an alternative power source?
