Power Supply Explosion

I need help finding out if a 300w psu will work with a 8600 gt that i purchased. The graphics card says it requires a 350w psu. I cant buy a new psu right now because i am giving this graphics card to a friend that really needs one. The person I am giving this to only has a stock hp 300w psu. Will it be safe to use it for simple stuff and light gaming (minecraft), or will the power supply explode and kill everyone. Thanks -Cameron

would help if we knew exactly what psu is it

 

that card have a pretty low TDP, so it should be fine

though it depends on what are the other components

You, should be fine the same thing happened to me but just save up for a new PSU. It is only a 50 watt difference, it's not like you are trying to run it off of a 150 watt power supply.
