You definitely wanna check the amperage on the 12v rail of any power supply you get. However, keep in mind that the current will be split between every component you have installed in your PC. It's always better to have way more than you need.
That being said, if something has gone awry with your power supply, there could be all kinds of problems.
Obviously you need a new one no matter what it's rated since it seems to have gone tits-up.
