Voltages don't tell nearly the whole story. First and foremost, the voltage testing would need to be done under load, but even that's not enough. It is entirly possible that the voltages can look stable on a multimeter, but the current may have a lot of "noise" which a multimeter cannot pick up. The only definative test of the PSU is to simply try a different one.
