Lights show random blink

Have any of you had all your lights blink like this video? It may be a xLights issue, but thought I would check. I did change out my dongle yet still have the issue.

How many nodes across all the ports on that hub.
And what is the amps rating on the power supply for +12v


I've seen that flicker when there was not quite enough power to run all the nodes.

onesmoothhead:
I have 580 dumb nodes on 9 different port . Largest string has 92 dumb nodes. I am running a 650watt single rail power supply.

onesmoothhead:
Interestingly,  I can pull each cat5 off the board and it still blinks. My Zues driven mega tree blinks at the same time. I might have a poor solder joint on the board. I have used this board for at least 5 years and this is a first for me.  Thank for all the input. Ideas are still welcome.

chrisatpsu:
EtherDongle? USB?

are there any other pixel stuff connected? do they act up?

you can't determine the power output on +12v based off the watt rating of the power supply, as it's factoring in the total wattage across all voltages combined.   I have 2 types of 600 watt power supplies on hand. One has 24Amps on the single 12v rail. and the other has 16Amps.
