Amps in my PSU

Forum CPU & Components : Power Supplies, Cases & Mods Amps in my PSU

Word :    Username :           
 

Hey
I got an ASUS 9600GT graphics card and it says it requires +12V/26.0A.
I've just realized my PSU only supplies +12V/24.0A. I've been running this combination for about 3 months. However, sometimes when I play demanding games like Fallout 3 & Dawn of War 2; it glitches, i get a BSoD for less than a second, then the computer restarts. Could the reason be that I'm not getting enough Amps out of my PSU?

what is the brand (and the model), that matters too, a crap brand like raidmax or apevia could be giving out un-clean power to your system
