Well i built this computer myself back a couple of years ago and never really had any problems with it until recently. But over the years ive been adding little things here and there like more memory, tv tuners, etc. Im guessing the problem might be that the power supply cant support everything??The computer runs for about an hour at the most, then eventually either just shuts down or restarts.

the specs

amd xp athlon 1700+ not overclocked
512mb memory
maxtor 200 g hdd
maxtor 120 g hdd
netgear ethernet adapter
some type of nvidia nforce mobo that i bought about 3 years back
winfast tv2000 xp tv tuner

450 watt power supply at 115v

cant think of anything other then that, i would really appreciate the help, thanks alot!
 
Austin Power Supply Model: DR-B450E

it came with the case i bought

and the mobo is an Asus A7N266-VM
 
Can't say that I've ever heard of that PSU manufacturer before. A decent quality 410W PSU shouldn't have any problems, but I've had generic PSUs that came with cases and were incapable of delivering nearly the amount of power they were spec'd to supply.
