Dell Alienware X51 Power Supply
Try to replace a power supply with the same size or bigger. It is usually pretty easy to install a power supply in your Dell computer. The power supply in your Dell desktop is in charge of distributing power to the motherboard, CPU, hard drive and other components that need power. Purchasing a new Dell Alienware X51 power supply can be a breeze, especially if you still have the old PSU to measure, size-wise. You will not want to cut corners when buying a power supply as it is the final barrier between the power coming from your wall and delicate components inside your Dell.
Clues to watch for to know the power supply will not last the year
- The Dell shuts down while processing a heavy load
- The PC refuses to power on
- You notice burnt wires in the PSU
