This was the power supply I had before, and there were situations where the display blank, the ps freezes, and some reboots happened.  I no longer own the PS, otherwise I would make a video and show you guys.  But I was lucky and the PS never burned out.  The power supply is very good but I'm sorry to say it is also not back EMF proof.

To what end ?
You're dealing with switched magnetics so back EMF will always be present and its level is always relative to the impedance of the return/discharge path.
Place appropriate snubbers across it and move on with the rest of your design, whatever that may be.

Now with more knowledge that you're working with solenoids.....

Some years back when designing circuitry to momentarily switch a 24V 10A solenoid with gear I had on hand.....a whopping big free IGBT module and back EMF protection was required for its protection.
It was for wireless remote release of solenoid controlled mechanical throwing arm of a claybird trap machine. 

After consultation with my EE mentor at the time, a reversed biased large diode and large Zener in series were used for back EMF snubbing.
IIRC a 5A diode and 10W zener, maybe 12V I don't remember sorry.

The IGBT and zener approach it's interesting, I need to do some testing. I've been collecting all sorts of information about the subject and making few testing because time is short, but i think I'll figure out the best solution. Thanks
