It's only when I try to refresh the Windows Experience Index (Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools) that Windows exhibits the same power off problem that I see in Linux.
I left a voice mail with the Dell tech.

All the filters have been cleaned. When the tech replaced the motherboard he had to remove the heat sync. When he did this a piece of copper or copper alloy fell off it's about an inch square. The tech said that it was not necessary and did not replace it (fortunately I still have it). My suspicion is that this component is needed.
