hi, the converter you use needs to be at least a 2A rating continuous, and preferably 2.5A, but more importantly for this discussion, the 5v needs to be very clean.
... I am using the CPT converter which delivers a fairly clean 5v continuous at 2A. I also added a filter to the setup to smooth the noise which typically comes from a dc-dc converter. The problem is that the PineA64 will draw spikes of current from time to time and the 5v 'must' remain stable during those spikes. A 2A supply is often not enough especially if the 5v is not clean (has ripples in it). Take a look at the thread I posted earlier. My battery setup is running very well with the CPT converter and filter ( 5v @ 2A ).
