Don't want to open a new forum so sorry for reply to myself.
I found out why it doesn't want to boot OS4.0.
The problem is the ppc soldering..I think.
The 060 already has been fixed by amigacenter and that part is 100%.
But the ppc side needs a push downwards to boot up.
I know it is not advisable to push against the ppc but as there is no company which can do these repairs I will make a bracket which pushes it down.
Don't think a small force is that bad for the ppc.

@amiga4001

I have the exact same problem with my CS PPC.  So I bolted down a heatsink on top of the PPC and made it very tight...now it is much better.  Not 100% perfect, but better.

@HammerD

So I am not the only one with this problem.
My experience is that as soon it passes the startup after the first reset on booting Os4 it runs nicely without any pressure.
Even when playing .mpeg video with dvplayer.
Guess it is a bad contact which wants more power on startup or something.
