Solution
Is your current PSU working with the 240 in it now?

DELL loves to cheap out on PSUs and give people exactly the minimum they need so upgrades often require new PSUs at the same time.

The GT 240 is using some pretty old hardware so it is potentially more energy sucking than newer cards with similar power.

The old parts should all still work like the DVD drive and Hard Drive and so on.
