Looks like you have to buy a new PSU.

Which gfx card do you have ? What Processor do you have ? Whats your budget for a new PSU ?

Buddy your suggestion is good. He can also opt for clorsit 450W psu @ Rs. 1K.

but look @ his budget.

& regarding zeb PSU : one of my friend is ruuning his AMD Athlon X2 4800 & a 7600GS gfx card with zeb 450W psu from last year. Still he hasn't faced a single issue.

You can get a pretty cheap Zebronics or VIP 350W or 400W PSU in around 400-800 bucks.
