I've managed to get a photo of my PSU's specs:

It says the card requires 40 amps on the +12v rail...

And if you look at the photo of the PSU you posted you will see that it only provides +25A.

40A though, bloody hell that's greedy. I can start a car engine with less than that - guess I'm starting to fall out of the loop on High spec PCs.

lol. I don't think 40A is correct though, because this problem happened all at a sudden! I mean, everything was working properly, I still don't think it is a PSU problem, if it is incapable of running the card, then how come the card worked for almost a year by now?

These problems will happen "all of a sudden". My 600w was bobbing along for 16 months without any problems, then suddenly *KAPUTT* without any warning.
I was bit a naughty and took the top off the PSU (NOT RECOMMENDED) and noticed that most of the capacitors looked like they had blobs of ice-cream on top.
The casings had split and their contents had oozed out.
My nephew put a series 7 card in his PC and that ran for 3 months on a 350w PSU before it died. Luckily the card survived, so I just replaced the PSU.
