Is this PSU too weak for CF?

Z_fighter · September 2010

My friends CF keeps crashing while ingame. He gets an error from his graphic card, the error says about VPU Recover and that the graphic accelerator has stopped responding to the drivers. He has a 230W PSU, i wonder if he gets the error becaise his PSU is too weak... Heres the rest of the specs:

OS: Windows XP SP 3
CPU: Intel Pentium D 3.0GHz
Memory: 1GB RAM
Video card: ATI Radeon RX 9250 128MB, 64bit
PSU: 230W

He installed other drivers but it didnt help, instead of giving the error it frezzes his PC and he has to restart it.
Any opinion is appreciated. (sorry for the bad grammar)

Amm... he just told me his PSU has 330W not 230W it was a misunderstanding, sorry for that.

LoL, he should buy a new graphics card, its not his PSU that's bottlenecking or giving error. It's probably his GPU that's causing the error, he should definitly upgrade his graphics card but when he does he needs to replace his PSU anyway.
Updating the card's driver can fix the error but the GPU is just to weak to play a shooter on proper FPS
