what exact PSU? your brother is likely correct.

Not too sure about the PSU, can also be your new card. If you could test your setup with a new PSU, it might gives you your answer, it's one or the other.

I think the company called "Power Man".. not really sure what this old PSU is but his output is 500W.
I bought today a corsair VS650WATT, im gonna see if it will crash and i will update you.

*Update* i have been playing for more than an hour and didnt crashed once, thanks
