I suspect the PSU is the culprit as well. The one I have is 10 years old and may indeed be at the end of its life. However, I'd like to confirm before buying a replacement.

I would replace that decade-old PSU unless I had no other options. They get unpredictably flaky as their components degrade, and doing so will help a lot in your troubleshooting. Best wishes regardless.

Unfortunately in this case, the BMC gets stuck before it acquires an IP address, so it's not available via SSH.

Yeah, I've been considering that.
