I bought a LG 19" monitor and wanted to increase the resolution to the 1440 x 900. But my computer won't go that high.(1152 x 884 24 bit) so I thought I would get a new video card but when installed the computer goes into sleep mode. I am running a ATX 100W power supply. I am thinking that that is the problem. Am supplying a link to the specs of my motherboard.

the new video card is ATI RAGE 128PRO 32MB PCI. I don't game, just wanted a better card for video, resolution, etc. The card says that it should have a 350W psu. But since I have a 'micro?' psu (size 2 1/2 x 5 x 4) which is hard to find. I think I found a 300W, but not sure if its the right one. http://www.911forpcs.com/hpposuse.html
My question to you is.... will a different power supply allow my computer to run that video card? and what max psu will my motherboard handle? Any suggestions to links on power supplies will be very grateful.
