Some other threads suggest replacing only a few capacitors (@ralphy made
suggestions). I personally replaced them all all 3 times, at the end of
the day it's not too long and some are only accessible when surroundings
ones are removed, so I took the brute force approach. 

Current draw is probably going through peaks that you don't see unless
you've use a scope, so the voltage drops is sudden if the capacitors are
not doing their job and the reboot happens, I assume
