Pretty sure my power supply blew last night.

Had a 400w supply and upgraded my system to 4GB ram, quad core q6600 and a geforce GTS8800.

The system was ok for several hours until i started playing half-life 2.

After about 10 minutes there was a crack & the system died.

The motherboard led which is usually lit to show there is a power supply had gone out so i removed the psu. On opening i could see a glass fuse on the board inside that had shattered.

I'm hoping my motherboard is ok, but i'm wondering if my psu was too low a wattage for the components i was using. Should i replace with a 500w?
