We have an Indy in the lab that does this occasionally. It's a bit old and
crappy. On that machine it's a problem with the processor seating or
connections. Often happens after a power cycle.
The cure is usually, take the top off the Indy and give the processor board
a good push down and generally push everything else around it home...
