Blue screening; HELP

My old pc has a 275w psu, I recently added a Geforce GT 520 because 1080p videos lagged out on the integrated graphics. After that my computer is beginning to Blue Screen and just shut off.

 

Temps:

CPU: 33C idle / 65C load

GPU: 60C idle / 75C load

 

Specs:

Athlon || x4 2.7 ghz

stock 275w psu

6gb ddr2 ram

geforce 9100 integrated graphics (disabled)

Zotac 1gb gt 520

 

I've basically figured that it must be a PSU issue. But could there be something that I'm missing? I don't want to buy a psu and have my pc still keep blue screening.

Another weird thing is that at load it doesn't blue screen, it only does it at idle..

 

Thoughts?  :huh:

Try to take gpu out and see if blue screen goes away, then you know gpu is dud or psu can not power it.

The PSU seems a little underpowered but what I'd do first is download BlueScreenViewer and see what the memory dumps have to say for themselves

The graphics card works perfectly, is there another way it could be a "dud"?

Most likely the psu, try a clean install of windows.

Its a clean install since 4 days ago.

Can you try the gpu in a different system or do a test with no gpu. Then you can narrow it down to psu delivery or gpu dud. Also pci lane of mobo could be bad and causes the machine to bluescreen I had this issue with an asus mobo and it caused me some serous problems. Is there another pci express lane to try?

Only one open lane unfortunately, I'm going to run no card for about a week and see what happens..

Power supply likely can't support it power wise, if it's just a cheapy power supply the rail(s) might be too weak, 275w is low

Hopefully it will work normally. If that is so, try to run the card in a friends computer or another computer you own and see if it blue screens. If it does, then the gpu is the issue, if not then it is psu or mobo related. To test the motherboard try a friends gpu in it and see if it causes the machine to crash.
