Yeah, a few days is fine, but you were probably running that psu at full
belt and so if it turned into a few weeks it would more than likely blow up.

been runing a 9700pro with a antec smart power 350 for around 1 year.

Which is a far cry from a generic 300w or a 250w like the OP was asking
about, but even 350w is running pretty close to the metal.........I doubt if
you add up all your parts that you are under what the 12v rail pumps out,
you really should upgrade that psu..
