Yes

My friend has an old Dell Inspiron N5010 that works fine with hdd, but i bought an (860EVO)to replace the HDD, and i managed to install windows (loaded from the official Microsoft media creation tool) and when it restarts after installation, it just doesn't turn back on long enough to do anything, i thought that it shut down, but after turning it back on, it just shuts off after a minute or two, and i searched a little bit and people were saying that the drive has failed, i was frustrated and confused, because a drive fail is exactly why i didn't buy used, I'm a little experienced in drives failing, so i tried to tinker with the bios, and the same thing happened, after a little bit it just shuts down, i knew for sure that it meant that it has nothing to do with a drive failing, but i said hey, what would i lose, so i put back in the old HDD,and it actually booted up fine ,and worked fine for long periods, so i thought maybe it actually is a drive fail, and tried to use it on my own laptop, and i installed and booted into wondows no problem, so my head was exploding at that moment, and i put the ssd back in my friend's, and this time, it installed fine, but again, after that nothing, and i thought maybe the cpu heats up so much, that it just pulls an emergency shut down, so i searched for that and a lot of people seem to have heat issues with this particular laptop model, so i put back in HDD, again worked fine, and fired up Aida64, and it was rocking 90 at idle, but never really got hot to the point of it even throttlling rather than emergency shut down, so what i need suggestions/help for is this, does installing Windows use so much resources to make it that hot? And would reapplying the factory thermal paste help with thermal issues?

Your PSU is dying or the motherboard.

Probably the power requirements of the SSD or the system simply can't handle the transfer rate of the SSD.

It works fine untill a while, and when it shuts down the ssd and the chip are very hot which is very weird because the max temp for ssd I've ever had was 35, and i don't think so because SSDs pull less than HDD
