Dell OptiPlex 160 Power Supply
Try to replace a PSU with the same wattage or larger. Purchasing a new Dell OptiPlex 160 PSU is quite simple as long as you have the old one for making size comparisons. The power supply in your Dell desktop is in charge of distributing power to the hardware in the computer. You do not always want to go with the cheapest PSU as it is the final barrier between high amounts of electricity and your delicate computer hardware. It is not too difficult to install a new PSU in the OptiPlex 160 desktop.
Major warnings of an inadequate primary power supply
- Computer is unable to start
- System shuts down while processing a heavy load
- You smell burnt wires in the PSU
