I found another thread that dealt with:
Socket connect failed: Connection refused
One suggestion was to start the machine with just one board hooked up. I did that and it finally ran without rebooting. I then tried each board independently. It would run with each one. I then noticed that the power cable to the PSU was quite hot. I found another one laying around that was heavier gauge.
Finally I hooked up all three boards again and crossed my fingers. It started and no more rebooting. It has been running now for the last 14 hours. So far so good.
