It still might be worth logging the voltage readings for a few hours, and/or forcing a failover to the second PS.

I had a box once that appeared to work fine for ~15 minutes and then would start putting out voltage not quite bad enough to crash outright, or to trigger a PS failover, but bad enough to make the clock run at about 1.4x normal speed (and probably several other bad things, that was just the easiest symptom to spot) which made it die in spectacular ways.
