    Hey.

    I’ve been having problems with my PC shutting down during boot up. It will shut down and then I can’t power it back up I have to unplug the power cable and replug it so I can start it up again. It also restarts and freezes or the screen just goes goes to sleep while in windows.

    I think it might be the PSU. I bought my PC in Feb of 2005. It’s specs are:

    3.2 GHz Intel
    1 gb ram
    Albatron PX865PE Lite Pro motherboard
    Ge Force 5500 FX 256 mb ram
    Two hard drives one 40 GB another 250 GB
    And one cd and one dvd burner.

    This is my current PSU:

    And this is the PSU I have from an older PC, that I want to put into my computer:

    I see that they differ in some areas, will this matter much? Will my pc work if I replace it?

    I only need it for a few days to a week before I buy a new PSU.

    Thanks upfront.
