IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have recently upgraded my computer to dual core e6550, 2 gb ram running Vista Business. I am having problems running USB devices. All goes fine untill I plug in my External HD. USB Printer fails to operate. If I add a Flash drive to the front USB the computer stalls.

It appears that not enough power/information can get through the installed USB\’s. What upgrade should I look for to solve this?

This is a classic overworked power supply problem. One of the problems with many computers is the power supply is designed for the bare minimum and adding any additional load causes these sort of problems.

We’d recommend upgrading your to a higher capacity power supply.
