Oh...snap.
Okay, this is some serious stuff. What's happening is the regulator in the power supply is going bad, meaning it won't properly transfer the voltage to the CPU, which means you could end up frying your processor. I would suggest contacting Dell about it to see if they can send you a replacement power supply. I would also use your computer as least as possible, because it could fry your processor at any moment. Yikes...
Why it's happening when you run Photoshop is because Photoshop is pretty graphic-intensive when it comes to colors, shades, dimensions, etc. That puts a lot of pressure on the processor, and that's what causes your computer to hang, the processor isn't either getting enough power, or too much power. So there you go.
