poor power supply is the most likely cause of this.

I just bought this new g card because my old one was broken. Could i get some help finding a cheap psu that would work?

Also people said that this psu should be fine.

technically it should be fine, but i'd be suspicious of the actual capability of that PSU, and can it actually do 500W.

how many amps does it say is can do on the 12V rails.
