I'm guessing that the PC has an intermittant connection on one of the
RAM address lines.  Every time you plug or unplug something, it jiggles
it one way or another.   Maybe it also works when the computer is hot
and not when it's cold - or the other way around.

Anything like that could produce results like this.
