This setup seems ideal for a full-size/standard Optiplex 790. Since they’re using an aftermarket Corsair PSU, upgrading to high-end enthusiast components would likely provide better reliability. Replacing the motherboard with more robust hardware could be a smart move.
The device appears to be quite outdated. Have you considered swapping out the CMOS battery?
With a Dremel tool, you might cut savings of around sixty dollars off a case by removing the connected I/O shield. It carries some risk, but a bit of creative problem-solving is always worthwhile.
The issue was with the CPU; it needed a new coating. The old layer was very dry, similar to dry air, but there were no temperature problems beforehand. After taking it out of its case and reinstalling it, it worked fine.
