If it were me, I'd take a different hard drive, wipe it, and install a system
from the original system disks. Then reboot from the new setup. If it still
has issues, it has to be hardware.
If it works OK from that bare bones system, then update/add software till the
problem shows up again. If you go one step at a time, you will know what was
done last, therefore what caused the problem to start. Yeah, it takes time to
step through to do this.
If you knew what was done to the system just before this started, that might
give you a better starting point. Then it would be worth undoing the last
change to see if that fixes things.
