Odd.  Was it a new cap?

I've done this quite a few times and have seen the method recommended by a dozen others.  My arcade cabinet has been running like this for over a year without a twitch.

But if you are concerned about that possibility, just turn off the power management stuff so it won't try to shut the system off.
