While there certainly would be many possible causes - this behaviour can 
also occur because of the 'reset level' adjustment ("DC OK Threshhold") 
on the power supply being incorrect (and this setting can change over 
time, as the components in the power supply age).

Specifically, it could be a little low, causing the CPU to wake up 
before it should. If this is the source of the problem, then it is 
something easy to address (and is covered in the Service Manual, ref: 
Section 6 - Adjustments and Checkout) [The service manual is available
