No buddy.it will not
the reason why your pc malfunctioned (im sure it used to shutdown on its own right?) is because 250w that also from a cheap psu is not sufficient enough for stable operation.your pc should have atleast 350w for stable operation.
trust me when i say this because that same thing happened to me before

i would advise you to change your psu asap before it damages your pc components and also don't even think about adding a gfx card until you buy a good quality psu
