The graphics card with two 8-pin PCIE power ports can use up to 375 watts of power (150 watts per 8-pin port plus 75 from the motherboard slot). The 650 watt "requirement" is an estimation for the entire system from the manufacturer. The CPU you have is a 95 watt CPU, so I suspect your system would run smoothly on a quality 600 watt unit.

Even top end power supply units can fail, but to have two of them fail is an oddity. I would disassemble your PC and make sure all is connected/mounted correctly and nothing is shorting out.
