Since it still runs, its possible the 5VSB doesnt have an adequate load anymore and its going into overshoot trip. a open smoothing capacitor on its secondaries would cause this. Also an open load resistor on the output section would cause this as well. probably dried broken solder joint creating an open. 

Especially if its high hours, it could have a bad filter cap on the 5VSB.
