I would suspect the MassTech 2MB memory upgrade.  I bought a 2MB upgrade for a
128K Mac from these people all the way back in December of 1985, and it caused
my Mac to have problems similar (but not identical) to the ones you described.
After giving the turkeys THREE chances to fix the upgrade, I returned it (with
their promise that I would get a refund and reimbursement for shipping, etc.)
in April of 1986.  I am -still- waiting for my $1200 and hope that the federal
bankruptcy judge will force them to make good on it (I am convinced that they
will not return my money otherwise and that they never intended to return it).
