What else could cause this? An old power supply that's not giving out
enough juice?

The m9088hk was bought in year 2007.

[a bit of OT]
Someone, or something, must have reset the BIOS settings. Could it be a
ghost? :)

CMOS settings getting lost is also a symptom of a failing CMOS battery,
at least on desktops in my experience. Replacing the CMOS battery (if
possible) is usually the first thing I do if I have that type of
problem.

Good luck.

Maybe that PC's users just don't have the right field around them... :P
