Based on this information, can we reach any conclusions about my power supply? I'm very ignorant about hardware.

It would be a good bet.

But it would be good to know the old GPU and new GPU and PSU specs and their ages.

Are you on Vista?

Make sure you're on the latest motherboard BIOS.

Try using DDU with the new card installed and then reinstalling the GPU drivers if you want:

If that doesn't help and it's only crashing while playing games with the new GPU then trying a new PSU would be a good option at this point.

These are some of the HQ PSUs being recommended for use with a newer GPU:
