Probieren mit ein andere netzteil....
2 years ago I had a system that was unstable, & generaly weird,
after doing the more sophisticated checks you'r currently doing, I
finaly swapped supplies ... & it's run fine for the next 2 years.
I recall a DVM (digital volt meter) did not show particularly bad voltages,
(no worse than usual PC rubbish ;-)
I'd have probably needed to use a 'scope to see the noise,
& even then it was probably only occasional.
If you'r using power extenders ( 5+12V Y cables ) clean the contacts & gently
squeeze them in, they could drop voltage &/or induce noise.
Gute besserung :-)
