Power Supplies for modern systems need to be at least 500 Watts or better at times. Peripheral hardware used by many modern systems can use just about as much juice as a CPU does, if not more, by itself. A power supply with 250~350 watts isn't going to cut it anymore. What those "reports" say, often is wrong and doesn't accurately reflect the usage of the system. I'd recommend no less than a 500 watt PSU for any system, if not a 750 or better recommended.
Chances are Adept, you need to get a stronger power supply to compensate for the lack of power in the system. Lack of power can cause problems like freezing, power downs, and even system boot failures.
