Is my PSU powerful enough?

Hello,

I have HIS HD3850 IceQ3 Turbo (AGP) video card which comes with 8 pin connector. My PSU (HEC 500W 2.0) has 2 x 6 pin power connectors. At default speeds (720/1820) card runs OK, but when I try to OC it (e.g to 840/2008) it becomes unstable. Even OC'ed card runs smoothly, without any artifacts at all but later everything crashes and driver resets the GPU. Is this caused because of lack of PSU power or due to 6 pin power connector? Should I get 6 pin to 8 pin adapter?
PC:
P4 EE @ 3.66GHz;
2.048MB of Kingston HyperX Ram (500MHz CL2);
2.5TB HDD (4 drives);

Thank You.
