Gateway FX542X Power Supply
Always try to replace a power supply with at least the same watts, if not bigger. It is usually pretty easy to install a power supply in the FX542X desktop. Never go with the cheapest power supply as it is the final barrier between the outside power grid and your delicate internal Gateway components. The power supply in your Gateway desktop is in charge of distributing power to the motherboard, CPU, hard drive and other components that need power. Purchasing a new Gateway FX542X power supply is quite simple as long as you have the old one to make a size comparison to.
What to see if the main power source is dying?
- System shuts down while processing a taxing load
- The PC is unable to power on
- You see smoke in your power supply
