PSU upgrade

[Arlimin]

i am looking to upgrade my psu and i cannot see anywhere the dimensions of the psu. i just want to get around 300w. just something a little more powerful. because the graphics card i have now is just a smiddge over 30w. i think its 35w. when i start the computer with it in the slot it just shows a black screen and the fans come on so i figured it doesnt have enough power... turns out i got the card that was with a fan instead of a heat sink. please someone help me.

This is my power supply... So with what you said about the wattage, that it doesn't matter if you have more wattage just won't work if you don't have enough.

As you will see, I deleted my reply to you.  I completely forgot that the Slimline models have a special PSU.  I suggest that you contact one of the PSU manufacturers to see if they have a 300W or better PSU that will be compatible with your computer.  This will assure that you will get the correct model without any returns.
