 I have two b004 boards. One board had a hardware bug. 
It sometimes stopped after a few minutes from turning on IBM-PC. But 
it worked quite OK when it was cooled by a fan.
In that time, I didn't have enough time to repair it via INMOS. Also,
from JAPAN, it took more than two months to repair it! Then I repaired it
by myself and found that length of a pin of a DRAM socket was too short to be
soldered! 

 I don't know about your case, but you'd better ask INMOS Ltd. to check 
or repair your board.
