If this is the supplied power supply it may not be man enough for the job.

Is it a Mitac brand supply?

What was the graphics card you replaced?

Compaq or other oem system builders rarely factor in any spare capacity when specing power supplies etc on these desktop PCs.

I agree that the power supply sounds like a possible issue, but please check the version of the drivers that came supplied as they are often very out of date. If so download the latest and give them a go first.

The PSU looks like it could handle the card, I would try running CPU-Z and check if the memory on the card is dodgy next.

thanks all will try installing new drivers first, then try running CPU-Z will report back
