LC reboots when a floppy disk is inserted

In trying to make an old software work, I bought a LC with a dead power supply.
I managed to power it up with an ATX power supply and some rewiring, only providing +5 and +12 volts, if that matters.
As the title says, as soon as a floppy is fully inserted, the screen gets scrambled and the machine gets in a reboot loop.
Anyone has any ideas what could cause this?

I tried two working floppy drives, one from a 9500, the other from an LCIII, same behaviour.
I haven't recapped anything, but I think a previous owner did.
I see corrosion on the adb port shell and on some components leg.

It could always be the lighting in the photos themselves, but those joints look too green and dull for this to have ever been recapped or washed.
