New 6800 - graphical problems - power supply related?

Missing graphics - random elongated triangles drawn on screen - missing text

Leadtek Geforce 6800, A64 CPU, 1gig 3200 ram, Asus mobo

Only a 250 watt powersupply

Would the crappy powersupply cause this? Or would the card just not work at all if it wasn't getting enough juice?

My older geforce4 Ti4400 works fine but that surely draws less power, right?
 
yeah its low, is it esp if its a no name brand psu. You might get away with such a low psu if it was some quality company like pc power and cooling, antec, ocz to name a few
 
Hrmm hard to say, sometimes you will have problems booting up bc there is a surge of all the components increasing. Most likely i would say its your psu since it ran fine with a slower video card before you install the 6800
