The PCI-E standard calls for 75w so that makes no sense.
Directly from the manual:
DC5800 Manual Excerpt
If this is indeed correct, I doubt a PSU upgrade would make any difference, seeing as how only 25W is supplied to the PCIe slot.
I need help to help you.
I am not so familiar with HP manuals, so from which manual you got your picture. I am looking into different HP model manuals where stronger PCIE card was used and I want to find the same information as you presented.
Below is the list of manuals, which one should have the same wattage information?

Sorry I've taken so long to respond; I could not find similar wattage information for that particular PC as from the
DC5800 Manual I took that excerpt from. The closest thing I could find was on page 19 of
this manual. I've highlighted the pertinent area in red below:

Excellent find, now my turn as promised.

Pros:
I am pleased to share that this card works painlessly in an HP Slimline s3400f that came with a 165w psu! I bought this to improve on a low-power upgrade plan from the original specs. Over time (since 2008), this tiny system has gone from 2.7Ghz cpu - hard drive - onboard graphics to 2.9Ghz (nothing great i know) - ssd - 7750 discrete graphics. The cpu is the bottleneck now as far as performance goes, but for what this system is used for, this HD7750 has given it an acceptable outcome (for someone who's used to working with video editing machines). The HD7750 has made the noise level far more tolerable as the system sits upright on my desk (less than 2 feet from my head, it's a tight space), and under the same usage scenario is as quiet as larger case fans (120mm and up) whereas the HD4650 it replaced got obnoxious after running for about 10 minutes.
Cons: The only complaint I have, which I can't really do anything about, is that the DAY AFTER I purchased this, and confirmations had been made and all, the price was lowered by $5... *sigh*
Other Thoughts: - Yes, it works with the skimpiest of psu's. It doesn't get much lower then 165w.
- W.E.I: HD4650 1GB 5.0 (graphics) and 6.4 (gaming graphics); HD7750 1GB 7.4 (graphics AND gaming graphics).
- Yes, it is peacefully quiet, even when sitting less than 2 ft from the system.
- No, it does not cook you breakfast - doesn't get warm enough to do so (the s3400f has decent passive cooling in the side of the case).
Overall, Yes, I am a satisfied customer. I'm happy enough with the performance of the HD7750 to let the price drop pass.
Delivered.
You said you have 240 watt, LOL, this sound a lot compare to 165 watt as stated above!
You got your answer, get it and enjoy life while you can!
I consider problem solved using very good (in comparison) example.
