That sounds like a name brand computer - what model is it?

160 watt PSU? You are lucky the system works at all.

Like I said, 160 watts is inadequate. It may be so close to the line that inserting the SD card overloads it and it trips off momentarily. 160 watts is marginal with onboard video, and you have added a video card.

You should not have added that video card with that power supply.

I didn't say it's the video card that's doing it. I'm saying you have an inadequate power supply.
