I'd call that VERY unlikely. The soft start circuit, as noted by Jerry, Ron, and me is a far more likely cause. I mentioned the caps because there is also the possibility of a "two problem problem," and more than once I've seen folks (including me) go way too far down the wrong path because they ruled it out. :) That is, bad caps in BOTH power supplies could give the result noted.
