Title says it all really.  During the first 10-15 minutes or so after I turn my Amiga on from cold, it crashes quite often.  Sometimes if I'm testing my own code I think it must be something I did wrong but it will also crash in Deluxe Paint as well.  I don't know what chip it is (CPU?  graphics?  chipram?), crashes are usually a Guru or a lockup followed by a reset.  I'm using an Apollo 060 card.  It had a really bad time limbering up this afternoon, I'm worried it might be going the way of all electronics.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

There are some timing fixes that help the stability of 1200s with 040 and above CPUs. Do you

know if you have had these done? My motherboard did not need the fixes(they were already correct) and I must say that my A1200D/060 is always very stable.
