i've always had problems with this computer, could it be possible that
the power supply was overcharging it the whole time?

Welllll.. it's _possible_, but highly unlikely.
Power supplies are supposed to pass some level of quality control /
quality assurance testing during and after manufacturing.

They have to provide voltages within specific tolerances and within
specific load ratings (current [or amperage] requirements).

If a power supply goes too far overvoltage either its internal safety
or regulation circuitry will [should] shut it down.

The circuitry on the motherboard may be able to provide a similar
service.
