Out of curiosity, which power supply do you have? I've seen both Astec and GE in IIci's (and IIcx's) and have found the Astecs to be quirky. The GE ones are more reliable. It sounds like it's a problem with the slot so I'm willing to suspect the motherboard first, but do check on the power supply as well.
BTW: The Mac SE also was made with Astec power supplies instead of the Sony one now and then. They too have had more problems with Astecs.
