ATI says that you need at least a power supply with 450W:

Is your power supply good enough? And more important is it a noname PS or a
brand one?

Try Installing Your Drivers In The Safe Mode, Running Programs Can
Give Problems.

Problem solved (I think).

Dodgy PCI-E slot on the motherboard. I tried installing an nVidia card
in the same slot and the system froze after nVidia drivers were installed.

Moving it to the second slot - no problems as yet.

For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to
be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are
installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you
install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.

Make sure your BIOS settings are correct for what you are trying to do. It
could be that the slot you suspect of being dodgy might not have the proper
settings for your card.
