If you are pushing the psu capacity at idle, it will surely crash under load. Most commercial PCs are built with minimal power supplies.

Photoshop Elements is my most used processor.
I used Photoshop for many years until I found out that most everything I was using is in Elements.

Question: Am I correct in assuming that "SATA 0" on the MoBo must be used for the C drive? "SATA 1" would be for D, etc? The cable from SATA 0 is too short to reach to the SSD, so I had to use a 90° cable that sticks out too far to slide the side panel back on.
.
SATA 0 is not reserved for the C drive. The C drive may be plugged into any SATA socket. The same for the other drives. Drive letters may be assigned or changed by using Disk Management. The BIOS will find the drive with the OS on it. Also, boot order is controlled in the BIOS so one can boot from a Flash Drive or CD/DVD.
I also would not worry about 110 degrees under continuous use. I would think DELL would have studied the air flow in the case and it shouldn't need more fans unless you have added heat producing components.

You only need two connections to check if a motherboard will start up. First off remove the power connection to the boot drive, plug in the 20/24 pin connector and the 4/8 pin connectors from the power supply. At power on you should see the PS fan start up and usually a light on the motherboard. Possibly some flickering on the screen. Then you know the motherboard has started. Next plug in any video card power connector (if needed), and see if anything then shows on the screen. You should be able to get into the BIOS at this stage.
Or it is highly likely the mthbd is stuffed.

Select Search in menu bar, then Advanced search in menu.
I can't find any menu that looks like that. Are you starting with the Search box on the Taskbar or in File Explorer? Neither has a tab that says "Search" that I can find.
CNET INSTRUCTIONS:

The method is explained toward the end of this article. I have a friend who upgraded this way and didn't have any problem.
I haven't tried it but the computer magazine I subscribe to says it's still available free. I have also read that at some of the computer web sites.
Beautiful car! It was worth the effort.
The primary films were Kodachrome and Ektachrome for positives and Kodacolor for negatives.
I really really like this set. The mature model is very pretty and sexy!
I have three hobbies; shooting handguns, computers, and photography. As I am now 77, I have been trying to sell my excess gun stuff. I put the guns on consignment with a dealer and have been selling the accessories; i.e, grips, books, scopes, tools, etc. I have also been trying to sell equipment from my Leica M3 collection. It isn't easy to get a fair price without giving it away. Also, some of the gun items are so large, they would be difficult to ship. Not easy to get rid of stuff!
I recommend Faststone Image Resized. Very flexible and easy to use and it's free.
If you read Maximum PC, the continually recommend Macrium Reflect. I also had a problem with Acronis when attempting to do a restore on a crashed disk.

It was 1993. After two of my database developers spent hours on the phone with a client, trying to figure out why we weren't getting their order transmissions, I drove a few hundred miles from Charlotte to Knoxville, TN, to troubleshoot a problem our client was having connecting his PC and our AS/400. We were all stuck.
When I got there, I immediately noticed that the data cable from computer to modem was ever so slightly loose, and that two of the proper lights were not flashing. I placed both hands on the modem, quietly fixed the loose connection, said some gibberish incantation that sounded vaguely religious, and said, "Modem, be healed! May thy data flow forth! Okay, Ma'am, try sending an order now." Of course, it worked perfectly.
They never called me again. These days, I would have FaceTimed them and surveyed the situation...

Good Troubleshooting. Sometime simple things are not obvious.
