To confirm or deny that it is temperature related, open the case and have an external fan blowing on the motherboard.

If things have degraded with the passage of time, then 80 might be a problem. The suggestion to use an external fan is an excellent way to test the theory.

I'm not sure I understand how this would work, since the hardware on your 2nd PC is different than the problem one.

Are you saying that you installed Windows on a disk that was in a different PC and then tried to move the disk to the problem PC?

Run task manager and performance monitor.

You can't know the PSU is fine unless you can eliminate it by trying another one or by some other method.

Since the problem only occurred after replacing the case, I would suspect something related to that. Make sure all connectors and components are properly secured.

Is there a switch on the power supply where one can switch between source volages?

You say that it 'recently stopped working'. I'd believe that this replacement switch has also failed. One could prove this with a voltmeter or ohm meter while activating the switch

What are the temps normally and also when you induce the problem?

Are your other devices connecte through Bluetooth or WiFi or ethernet? If they are connecting that way, then I suspect that the Insignia adapter does not work with that version of windows. Try contacting Insignia's customer support.

I would have suspected the PSU.

Before anyone can make an intelligent comment, one needs to know the details that they consider pertinent. It's a well respected courtesy.

If this problem only occurred after replacing the PSU, I would suspect the PSU even though it is new.

I haven't use a PS tester. Does the tester measure the voltage with everything connected? If so, then voltages are ok. If not, then one needs to measure them with a voltmeter and everything connected, as the problem may only appear with the load connected to the power supply..
