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.

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.
