Can using a weakening psu ruin your computer?

[fetus]

Can it ruin your computer and/or the video card if you use an insufficient power supply for an extended period of time?

possibly. u would ruin ur psu first the psu would have a meltdown from to much power withdrawl. everything would just shutoff

Yeah, the psu would die off. You might damage some components but yeah, the psu mainly.

Well...I'm too sure about that. If the PSU is too low, the power would just go off, Windows will crash a lot...freeze completely a lot...the PSU would turn at a high speed... the whole idea...

well, my PSU on my old computer died out, and it's not just the PSU i had to replace, it was the whole motherboard and everything conencted to it, basically a whoel computer. All the components died off because of the surge that went through when the PSU failed to operate properly. So i would say any possibility would happen.
