Also check the fan speed.  High RPMs cause vibration which has been
known to derail bits from the CPU.  If you open your case and see a lot
of "dust" that's probably extra lost bits caused by vibration.  Running
your fan at the wrong speed can eventually completely deplete your CPU
of bits, effectively turning it into a 16MHZ Z80.
