I've had flaky RAM sockets that caused just such a problem.

Re-seating the RAM, or waiting for the machine to warm up
usually solved the problem. Eventually the problem solved
itself when the MB croaked (for another reason) and the
same parts in a newer, almost identical MB no longer
exhibited the problem.

And I'm still running it on the wife's win98 machine.
