I have had the same problem repeatedly one one piece of equipment.  It
is vexing to the n-th degree.

I disable all suspect services and then add them back with an ad-hoc
geometric algorithm: I add half and, if those works, add a quarter, and
then an eighth...

There is some disagreement one how the Shepherd can produce better
logging output.  Some information may be in /var/log/messages but it can
be hard to find.

You are not alone.  Please post a reproducer if you have one.

Kind regards
