6600 Upgrade on PCV RX1 : Problems

Olivier_RX1 — Tue, 08 Mar 2005 23:30:41 GMT

Hi all,

i've changed my old Graphic card (Geforce 2 mx) on my PCV RX1 for a non-GT 6600.

I need to connect it at a molex, and i tried yesterday :
- After reeboot, mouse stopped to work
- Power supply got hot quickly

Of course, i've deconnect my Molex cable to avoid explosion :smileygrin:

What can i do ? Can we change power supply on this computer ?

Thx

It might be hard to change as it's a non-standard power supply

Can i Change case + Power supply with all my actual components ?

I'd like to keep my Vaio case, but if it's the only solution....

Hopefully you could, but it might not screw in well to the board.

Mmmh, give it no possibility, to use the Power supply extern.

I think you need only a normal Power supply and cables they are long enough to reaching the PC components.

True, a VAIO with an external Power supply are not really nice. But I think that is a possibility. (tell me, If I'm wrong)

ROFL

You need a Power supply like this one .

and cables like these .

You must dis-connecting the Sony Power supply and connecting the new power supply with the components in your VAIO.

I think a VAIO PC use the same cables like a standart PC.
