How right you are.
I dug that PC out of storage and gave it another look. I found a blown CAP on the motherboard. I imagine that is the problem.

Mini tower version, the biggest option for a 9020, not the SFF or the USFF. Same layout and form factor as the Inspiron 3847
Nothing close to a standard 20/24 ATX in there

I had a Dell Optiplex 745 . The power supply died, I should have taken it apart and replaced a $2.00 capacitor but oh well I didn't. Instead I figured I would get a PS that was 500 watts just because...
