is it possible to hurt your processor when replacing your computer w/ a more powerful power supply?

Q. i was replacing my 430 watt power supply with a 750 watt power supply so i could run my new video card. i turn my computer on but nothing pops on the screen. i then detach the PCI-E cable on the video card and i turn on my computer. my computer starts to run like normal but then just shuts off when i try to play a computer game. i turn it on again and it said it over heated. i allow everything to cool but it keeps on happening. i checked all the wiring and everything is where it should be.

A. You detached the PCI-e Cable?

It is not likely that your power supply caused this issue actually. It is far more likely that a heatsink is not seated properly, fan is not spinning or something of that nature. Have you tried running with the case open, looking for any fans that are not spinning. Have you checked your CPU heatsink to make sure there is not any dust/debris?

The fact that it acts up more when you try to play a game leads me to the video card.


What power supply should I buy for my PC?
Q. The power supply that came with my PC (Dell Dimension E510) is not compatible with my Nvidia GeForce 9600 video card. I need to buy another power supply and am not sure what to look for. I am running the graphics card as well as the default c drive and another interior hard drive. I use my computer for internet and gaming. Can anyone suggest a power supply for me? I'd be grateful for any assistance. Thanks!

A. The recommended minimum power supply for GeForce 9600 GT graphics cards is 400 watts with a +12V rating of 26 Amps for a single card, so make sure your system power supply can handle it.
