Regardless of the wattage of the PSU I don't think it has anywhere near enough amps for that set up. Your friend should replace that piece of junk immediately.

Return Merchandise Authorization. What it means is you fill out a form with the maker of the graphics card and they will take your broken card and replace it with a working one. So goto ZOTAC's website and get an RMA form and fill out the information. Then they will have you package the card up and ship the bad card to them. They will send you another card that has been fixed in return.

You might have to e-mail or call them first and explain what's going on.
