Even the switch port or the cable can be having problems. I'll boot it with an old Knoppix CD for some days. I'll try 5.something to be sure to use an older kernel. If I boot with 6.7 it might still be a kernel problem. I reckon if it should be the power supply I ought to get more problems and varying ones - no? But oddly enough electrolytics might be on the brinck of failure - that's true.
