I had a similar problem with my A2000, that disappeared when I replaced
the PP&S 040 card with an 060. It appeared to be a power problem, the
system drew too much power on cold startup. The only way to get it to
boot was to repeatedly switch off and on again until it started. Then I
didn't turn it off again.
