When I called EVGA to RMA my original power supply they said the 5V test they ran on it failed. Could this cause the reboots? I don't know much about electricity so I'm not sure if something like that could make a difference.

Thats good news, if you ever put on your cable mod cables again and it happens then you know.
I think 5.092 wouldn't be an issue, but obviously if you're in your bios reading it, it's fine. I'm assuming the PSU could've had some major dips in voltage and causes the reboots if EVGA is saying it fails the 5v test. You'd need an external meter to see this.
