I was having a debate with some dude about this. If a psu isn't giving enough power to the system, does the computer still manages to run and boot windows but at a slower rate and becomes laggy. Or it will simply run without displaying anything on the monitor?

if a powersupply isn't powerful enough?

If you overload the power supply, it shuts off. It doesn't cause lag, it doesn't cause nothing to be displayed on the monitor. It will simply shut off. So you're both wrong.
A power supply delivering improper power (unclean power, etc), can cause various glitches. But that doesn't fall under the category of an overload.
