I have the 600 watt power supply in this machine, which has faithfully served for 7 years with only one reinstall of Windows needed. I recently had an Nvidia GEforce 1060 card installed, which specced to a 400W power supply, and the box is acting like it needs more power.
What model of power supply in the 800-1000 watt range is a proper upgrade for this model?

Return unit to stable boot-up.
Please answer the following
1) What was the original OS?
2) Test for BIOS or UEFI Boot Environment

Your original question is now moot.
You have BIOS, and it will not support a UEFIvBIOS GTX 1060.

There was a BIOS firmware upgrade that allows it to support the card-and my PC has had that upgrade, which is why it will boot without a BIOS error now. The BIOS issue is resolved.
My original question isn't moot. If you don't know the answer to what power supply upgrade is correct for this machine, please don't reply.

Replying again to add that if the card isn't working in my machine, than something is really odd, since I am typing the replies on the machine in question, and it runs and boots fine without BIOS beep errors. Hence the power supply question.

The PSU is adequate. You state the BIOS was upgraded, likely to 8.20 or 8.21, well within UEFI range. The card is runs fine with the existing setup. So, what really was the question?
BTW<>that 600W PSu has 4 separate 12v lines, what is the AMP draw of that card?
Never was a fan of that style PSU. Prefer a single 12V line.

Any marking to determine which of the 4 is the higher AMP lead?
