Have you tried reseating the socket chips?  There may be a intermittant 
bad connection that, as the machine warms up, becomes a good one.  I had 
a similar problem years ago, and reseating the chips fixed it.

Besure to take the normal proecautions for working around chips (i.e. no 
static electricity buildup. power off, etc.)
