Similar suggestion.

Our company uses alot of Single Board Computers to collect data from
machines, and they had an issue with the power supplies.
The SBC needed 5V +/- a small %. At the given current load, the PSU
supplied 5v, but +/- a greater percentage than was tolerable, so the
SBCs were not working. New PSUs spec'd, and all SBCs OK again.
