well you could shoot it with freeze-mist while it's running and exhibiting the problem. Radio Shack carries that. If it's a compact case it seems even more likely to me that it might be a hot spot. You may be able to rearrange cabling or even add a fan and some ducting. Probably not the kind of thing you hoped to do to your computer ;)
Another thing that might change between soft and hard reset is the PCI interrupt. You can fix to a specific interrupt from most CMOS's. I've had cards that would work in one slot but not another and acted similarly in that a power reboot or soft reboot might only work. You can us lspci to find out if it's changing.
