  Technically speaking, not necessarily. That's because the old computer
might require less watts and the failing PSU may just be alive enough to
run it, but not your watt-hungry newer computer.

  It wouldn't be the first time that a dying PSU runs the computer for some
minutes but then it just shuts down. When it's left to cool for a moment
and the computer is turned on again, the same thing happens.
