With my grphics card ( VTX 3D radeon 7850 2gb ) i had to get a new lead to plug into my GPU from my PSU to support bigger voltages, so maybe, just a rough guess here, your graphics card isnt getting enough voltage.

Get rid of the cheap PSU asap, not only do cheap PSU's have shoddy build quality but they are actually extremely dangerous. They are known to actually explode and completely obliterate you inside of you PC.

Get a known make and make sure it is at least a 80 bronze plus.
