I would still check into the PSU - maybe take it to a PC shop (because they can't complain about amiga stuff if you leave the Amiga home :) - and have them test it?  Or if you are electrically inclined, do so yourself.

I had an accelerated A1200/68030/50 with the microbiotics card in it and everytime I had weird issues, it was from using the stock PSU (which definitely is NOT up to the task).  moved to the much uglier but more powerful one I got from an amiga dealer, and voila, problems gone.

May not be your issue but definitely worth a wee bit more investigation to rule it out.

remember that not just 'any' PSU will work - besides the custom connector, it has to be putting out the right voltages/etc.  Which I do not know offhand, save pretty sure that they are a bit different than vanilla PC-PSU output.  I will try to remember to do some digging tonight to see if I can find what they might be, but be forewarned in any event.
