If factory reset didn't help, maybe it's time to open the instrument and do usual stuff - check and clean all connectors, reseat IC's in sockets, check PSU if voltages are as they should be. Don't forget to check fuse(s)...

Then try reset once more.

It looks like there's some garbage in the memory, maybe leaving the machine without RAM battery (I'd suppose there's some) through the night can clean it. Then change RAM battery for new one.

If it doesn't help, maybe there's a time for recapping PSU... and more deep checking...
