Check the wattage by taking the side panel off the computer, looking at the power supply, and there should be a sticker on the power supply. See how many watts it says, and also look under +12V, there should be a number below it which is the amperage of the 12 volt rail.

read my last post , but it says

ac-
input voltage-
115/230v current 6A/4A frequency 60/50HZ

i dont know if thats what you were asking for , I'm not very good with computer hardware

Does it say anything more? There should be a chart on the side that looks somewhat like:
What specifically im looking at, see the +12v1 and under it it says 20A? Your power supply should say +12V and have a number under it. Post back with that information and we should be able to tell if you need a better psu or not.
