If your machine is getting flaky, and it has a
processor on a separate board (like my 3000/300
machines), sometimes it helps to seat and reseat
the processor boards a few times.  That cures
essentially all my 3000/300 flakiness problems.
It seems to need to be done about once every
couple months.  I dunno if that will help in
your 1000, but on my 3000/300's it is the only
cure that works.  Is there something endemic to
the Alpha processor boards or connectors that
is responsible for such behavior?  Anyone know?
