Changed the 2 x capacitors on PSU all good but get the odd hang, eg pressing blue to clean up timers.

got this box as a spare and noticed the PSU needed 2 x new capacitors. changed them and box good, running for 2 days, but today I wanted to clean up timers so pressed blue and box hung.

Its openvix 6.8.003 sky q skin. With a 1TB HDD, I know there are other capacitors I can replace but they look ok.

Any simple explanation why box hung? I used these

High Frequency Low ESR Aluminum Capacitor,25V 1500UF .​

maybe do a new flash and check other capacitors also .I took 35 volt to be sure because 25 v is limited

I did not realise you can up the voltage so played safe. I can only visually inspect the others. Would the 35 give any added benefit, ie clear the hung glitch? I may change all the others just for a try.

no but the 25 volt ones are at the limit of voltage so use higher ones to be sure. 25 volt one will work fine for the time
