250 W is positively too low for the kind of build you describe.
A computer's power supply unit MUST be picked out with taking into account the sum total of each component's peak power consumption - and you should add a 20% to 25% overhead, because PSUs can't sustain a 100% load for extended time periods (and as they wear down with age and use, the max output only goes down).
Faulty power supply can cause damage to your machine's components.

First of all, if the computer is new and within warranty, you should return it immediately and demand a 100% trouble-free replacement, no questions asked.

It sounds like he built the thing himself?
