I have a HP Z230 Workstation to which I have fitted a high spec graphics card (GTX 1070Ti). Since then, when intensive graphical operations are in progress, the workstation powers off entirely; no warning, just goes off.
My current suspicion is that the 400 Watt power supply in the workstation is not beefy enough and so I would like to upgrade it. However, I've just realised that HP don't use standard ATX motherboard power connectors so I cannot just use a standard 650 Watt power supply instead.
How do I go about getting a HP power supply of higher wattage for my HP Z230 Workstation?

FYI, in the end I ordered this cable https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ATX-PSU-24Pin-to-Motherboard-18Pin-Power-Supply-Cable-30cm-18AWG-for-HP-z... from Hong Kong, which took a few weeks to arrive but most definitely worked. Only then did I find out that HP power supplies aren't the same shape as ATX power supplies either. However, some bodging did the trick.
