I have a HP Pavilion I bought last March. I just upgraded my card to a
GeForce 6800 128mb AGP. I opened the case and discovered that my power
supply is only 250W, and the GeForce needs 300W minimum. I contacted HP
and they tell that I cannot upgrade my power supply because I could
damage some components, and that it is "unsafe" to use the GF 6800 in
this system.
Does this sound right to you??
Does HP use a standard power supply? Or is it proprietary? If it's standard,
then by all means upgrade it. It won't damage anything. Odds are the quality
of the aftermarket PS will be far better than the HP factory one.
