I would expect the problem is dirty contacts:

Most likely:
- I/O Board card edge connector

Less likely:
- Power supply card edge connector

Clean with alcohol or electronic contact cleaner. (The latter often includes a silicone lubricant which is likely to preserve the life of the contacts by reducing friction and oxidation.)

You can use a pencil eraser on substantial corrosion/build-up, but be very gentle to avoid erasing any gold plating.

Of course there could be a more substantial problem requiring replacement of some part, but problems due to dirty contacts are now very common.

HTH, James
