Since I received my 3000 about 6 months ago, I have experienced the same
problem.  My 3000 is an absolutely stock A3000-25/100 with 4 megs of SCRAM
added.  It will go along fine for a long time (weeks to months) with no
problem.  Then I will be editing a source file, and when I assemble it,
will get many error message.  A look at the file will show a lot of garbage
interspersed between good text.  This will go on for maybe an hour and then
won't show up again for a long time.
 
Dave Hanie, are you listening?
