It does definitely sound like your computer is running into timing problems.
Usually this is because you have slow memory chips. Make sure that you system
has at least 80ns chips (or 100ns if you have high speed cache on board).
If you have slower than 80ns, the system will hang; whether you have 1 or 2
wait states. To tell, you can just look at the memory chips, the trailing
digits will tell you the speed that they are rated at.
