    As I said; you need the 240w psu. What clock speed and temperature had you on processor? And what processor wattage?

    How does bios 05 work if you already have the 240w psu?

    If you've already given up Dellienware, you can Obtain a 240W psu from Ebay or Amazon for $ 75-95. You should have such one if you continue to keep your AW laptop.

    Manufacturer Part# : 6RTJT
    Dell Part# : 331-9053
    Delta PSU is preferable. Dell also use Flextronics. So you do not get confused.

    This looks like an Flextronics psu. This brand use Dell much nowadays but only for 240W. Both is ok but I still prefer Delta
