Yeah 250w is too small. I would suggest at LEAST a nice quality 500w PSU, but I would just get a Corsair TX650 or TX750 for future proof.
ya would that cause it to just turn off cuz it runs fine untill you start the game up

Yeah its jumping from 2D mode to 3D mode, which draws more power. 250W is not nearly enough for that card.

i had it running off a 300 watt Bestec......if your friend doesn't want to spend alot then this shoud be good enough
It might also be because of the high gpu temps, you might want to check them as well.

that should be good for the 8800 and plus the other stuff he got. good enough for future card he might wanna get.

A good 350W or decent 400W+ would probably work OK. but a crappy 250W is WAAAAAAYYYYY too little. I hope the PSU doesn't blow and take out his other parts.
