Reply With Quotehow many watts is your PSU
First of all, hello everybody, this is my first post here.
I have a 300w inverter on my car that is switched with a rele. The problem is that after 5 seconds when the PC is connected the inverter restart itself.
If I connect a radio to the inverter it works fine.
What can i do?
PD: sorry for my english :/
how many watts is your PSU
'98 Explorer Sport

AMD 800mhz 192megs RAM 60gig hard drive 9 inch widescreen VGA
80% done
The power supply of PC is 300w too
that could be one problem. inverters can peek but they shouldn't. I doubt you are pulling 300watt but you might wanna see if you can get your hands on a bigger inverter or a smaller PSU to test

Sorry i have just take a look to the psu and its 235w output...
It still sounds like your computer is drawing too much power, Many times on the ratings of an inverter, the wattage displayed is the PEAK power that it can put out. For instance, my 600watt inverter can only handle supplying 300 watts of continuous power. The peak power can usually only be supplied for a second or two before the inverter goes into safety mode.

Currently, Don't have a carputer :( I sold my lincoln and bought a '93 Acura Vigor, plan on putting a carputer in it one of these days. You can see my vigor at: This Site
More data about my pc:
PIII 733
20GB HDD
300MB RAM
DVD
And anything more...
I have calculated with this tool http://www.mymp3car.com/MP3Car/PSUpower.asp the power needed and seems to be 107w.
Could be a wire problem?
