Just to get some info was it working and just stopped?   You mentioned reset during video did this happen after a reset or was the reset an attempt to fix?  What PSU are you using (looked like a nice EVGA but checking to be sure)?

But I would check the connections just making sure they are snug.   https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204875015-How-to-diagnose-S5-hashing-PCB show's how to test one chain and the other.   So would start there.  

*Later Edit
It's been a while since I have had a S5 on hand so looked at some other things.  Which connector is fan connected to (hard to tell in video)?  It almost looked to be opposite as in https://bitmain.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204875635-My-Fan-does-not-spin

I will try to help some on here with what I see as possible problems. But if I don't hit the nail on head and catch what it is you might contact https://bitmainwarranty.com/ on repair services if it ends up being in need of repair.

Gotta agree that it sounds like a power supply issue, but as notlist3d suggests I would test one hash board independently of the other and see if one or the other is causing any issues.
