XPS 420 change power supply
Dear All, Yesterday, I changed power supply for my XPS 420. The new one is SU RAIDMAX|RX-530SS 530W RT and the old one is 375W. After I turned it on, everything worked well. But I didn't turn it on for a long time. Do I have any missing points to replace a power supply? I just changed it without checking anything else. If I have to check it before I replace it, please let me know. Thanks,

I put in an antec earthwatts 650 and it fit just about like yours did. The cabling isn't as neat as yours, but with
cable ties i managed to get it looking ok.

Because there is a dearth of information about power supplies that work. I started my own thread, but am also adding my info to threads that have info about psu replacements because if you come here and use the search function these are the threads that show up. someone who wants the info will stumble across it.

dell should support either if either came from dell considering they made a huge mistake in xps line computer puting lowe power supplys in them then not telling customers only to have them find out when theyre computer crashes constantly from not getting enough power then tell the customer they have to buy a higher one because they dont cover this problem what a rippoff ive had 3 dell xps computers and all have same prob cause dell puts high end parts with low power supply and i dont care what they do to items they still need alot of power and the basic xps systems require more ive been through every troubleshooting technique with probly every dell tech luckly for me im returning computer for refund but ppl must know this go to computer store with computer specs from dell and ask them if they have everything they need to run smoothly including a high enough power supply before buying dont make my mistake and spend ten months paying interest and fees just to have to recover every 2 days and crashing cmos error in f2(bios load up can be syptoms of too low power supply)also windows not function right like freezing and programs stop interacting with windows when in doubt you can always get a second opinion without ruining warenty as long as the opinion doesnt do ant thing but give you advice which u can forward to dell i currently have had to xps 420 and a 430 and all have same prob so please read and take into consideration do research

So, where is the reset switch? I haven't found one on the power supply, the case, or anywhere else on my XPS 420.

The XPS 420 does not have a 'reset switch'.
