PSU problem?

My CPU is randomly rebooting after installing the 6600GT AGP.

I thought it was a PSU problem, but people on the forums tell me my Dell Dimension 4600i can handle it just fine...

99% of the time, it happens when I minimize or close a window, I can game for 2 hours, clocked at 570 / 1260, and it will be fine. I use standard clocks, or underclock to 300 / 500, and it'll still reboot...

Idles at 45C BTW, load at 70C.

So is it a PSU problem?

When I reboot I sometimes get...

02/08/0 error allocating mem bar to pci device (at dos bootup)

And when I install gpu drivers, after entering windows it says "New hardware found PCI Memory Controller" (could this be it?)

Could it be drivers that I need??...

SUGGESTIONS?

I NEED to know, because I may get fans / a new PSU if I need to tomorow.

Enermax or startech better? And what fans are good for a 4600 case?

    Is it a complete shut down or just a restart?

    Go for the Enermax,  As the D-4600 has an open back, you can use most standard generic ATX PSUs, with or without the on/off power switch.
