I hereby pronounce my computer is fixed with a new power supply !
I just take it outside and hit it with the leaf blowerHeat buildup can cause problems. If possible open it up and vacuum out (VERY CAREFULLY) any accumulated dust.

Yes, about the graphics card. A cheap one but gets the job done for me.It looks like you have a third party graphics card installed. I think a graphics card with no power connector can draw up to 65 Watts from the PCI buss. That might have been too much for the original power supply.
Glad you fixed the problem with a new, larger PS.
I buy nothing but refurb PCs myself, Jim, and the best deals usually are on Dell and Lenovo. I have owned both and have had great luck with them. They last as long as any new ones I purchased in the past and I get great satisfaction out of knowing how much less I paid.Slickdeals has a refurb that will run Win 11...
