I don't know if I will convince you, but we are repeately dealing
with power supply parts that will not come up due to the inrush
current of the board.  The power supply has overcurrent protection.
The worst is a computer motherboard.  Some of the power components
have a "soft start" feature that lets you ramp up slowly.  But the
spec for ATX power supplies has a minimum risetime spec...

I guess there just is no free lunch.
