Default Crappy PSU

I have like a 100W power supply. Is this enough to run my PC? My specs are in my sig. That might be my problem. I don't know for sure though.

it should be fine. If you do any upgrades get a better PSU. 100Watts is really low.

I'd upgrade the PSU just to be safe. My dell with 250w psu is rather unstable under high load. No money for a new psu tho...
