most likely is the psu. but to replace the one in your dell with an oem you are going to need a converter which will cost about $20.

how many watts should it have?????? around 400

this link could be of some help: http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/pro...ctor/index.htm

a bit of reading on the adapter told me that your model doesn't need an adapter.

i checked at the site u gave me they said i needed a 275? U think thats to low. Ill probably go with the 350 or 400

get that achieve 500w that is like $20.

I got the ThermalTake 420W @ newegg for like ~$70.

i entered your specs and the result was "Silencer® 400 ATX Power Supply".
