It is not the new video card putting a strain on my power supply. The new video card was for my gaming computer. The problems I’m having are with my work computer. They are two totally different machines. The work PC hasn’t had anything added to it in years.

I appreciate everyone’s advice, but the bottom line is that it’s not even a computer worth putting money into to fix. I mean, as I mentioned, I’ve had this computer for about 4-5 years. It’s a Athlon Thunderbird 1ghz, from back when 1ghz was “wow!”.

The computer has served me well for a long time, but she’s past her prime, methinks.
