If you have a 32 bit CPU, you should use 32 a bit OS (and no jokes about "Windows being a thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.")
Best thing to try is just borrow a more powerfull powersupply from a friend, and try and see if you still have the same problem. If not, get yourself a better powersupply, if so, try borrowing another video card.
It might also very well be neither.
What game is it you're trying to run? Because I've had some old games that won't run under winXP (although I suppose they're a bit old, so chances are it wouldn't be one of those)
