I don't think that your error description is sufficient. I'd post some screens of the actual boards running.

Also, have you tried reseating all socketed components as a start?

If the PCB was working before the PSU change, i would bet you have low voltage on the 5V line. ..

It was not working correctly before the psu change and i have measured voltages on the edge connector and board all fine .
