550 watt power supply

After installing the Radeon 9800 Pro, whwn Win xp booted I recieved numerous hard drive write fail errors, and "can'y find file" error messages. So many had to do a hard boot.
Thinking it may be a power issue, hooked a seperate 200 watt power supply to the power cod on the card.
Did not change a thing.
