Thanks to all.
I let it run 24hrs, then shut it off for a few min and turned it back on,
seems fine.
Be aware that that is exactly the symptom you get with an older, dying electrolytic. Shutting off a few minutes will not be long enough for the warmed up capacitor to cool it's core, particularly if it's a brick supply that isn't generally well ventilated.
I'm not saying a lazy cap is your problem, but it's a high probability from your description of symptoms.
