Wow a 7600 gs requires 400W. you surprised me on that one.
Anyways the 7600 gs is not a power hog, but 250 Watts,
is pretty lame nowadays.
I suggest you get a better power supply.

7600GS draws about 27 watts or a little more than 2 amps on the+12V rail of the power supply. Your 250 watt power supply may have a pretty strong +12V rail that is why it could power your PC with the 7600GS installed. If +12V rating is less than 12 amps, that rail could be running HOT at or near full load. If more than 12 amps, there is no cause for alarm.
