Will psu rally fix the issue ?
I want to be 100 percent sure because 50 dollers is pricey for thing that might not work c

If the motherboard is compatible with the GPU and does provide atleast 75 watts on the PCIe slot then the motherboard is not the issue. It is either the PSU or the GPU itself. If you can ask some computer repair shop to test your GPU on their PC then go so you can check if the GPU is working properly. If that is the case, then the problem is in your system unit. Do it so you will not pay for a PSU that won't fix the issue at all.

I've tried a GTX 750 Ti in my system unit and it worked fine. I have a 235 watt PSU and I've just borrowed the GPU from my teacher in high school, which makes me think that the GPU is the problem.

You bought the GPU secondhand, right? Try to contact the person you bought the GPU from and test it again on his PC to prove if it is working properly or not. It is really sketch to buy a secondhand unit without even testing it.

Since you seem unable to test the graphics card on another system and purchasing another graphics card would be stupid without knowing that something was wrong with the one you have now, AND given the fact that you have a cheap, crappy, OEM power supply that is grossly underpowered for the graphics card you are trying to use AND has been around the block for a number of years, then YES, I'd say the MOST likely cause is the PSU.

Now, nobody can GUARANTEE you that it is the problem, and I agree that spending a few bucks to have a repair shop test the graphics card isn't bad idea, but I'd STILL replace that low end PSU, EVEN IF YOU HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL because it WILL cause problems and likely is slowly killing off your hardware anyhow, sooner rather than later. That PSU was meant to be used with VERY minimal hardware. Internet browsing type machines. Not gaming systems. Period.

Yeah the power supply is too old. My old 235 watt PSU heats up too much even without a graphics card until I've got my new one for free.

As the others have said, this appears to be a power supply issue. Your Dell PSU is old and very likely not producing anywhere near its 265w rating. This will cause your GPU (even one that sips power like a GTX 750 Ti) to fail as indicated.

There is no 100% solution here, but that seems the likeliest for your dilemma.
