Open her up and press down on all the socketed chips - chances are you'll hear them "crack", close up, start up and all should be well.

Over time the chips will work themselves out of their sockets, you might also want to consider at some point (assuming the above works) cleaning the contacts  of the chips with some white spirit and a cotton bud or similar.
Blessed Be,
