Following up to the responses of others, this can also occur because of 
the 'reset level' adjustment ("DC OK Threshhold") on the power supply 
being incorrect.

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
