Thanks to all who have replied with suggestions. What I failed to
mention (at least I HAD mentioned it in a previous version of my post
which I then proceeded to delete, ignoring all the warnings my machine
gave me!) was that in order to eliminate as much as possible, I have run
the Checkit and Ndiags tests with NO AUTOEXEC.BAT and ONLY HIMEM.SYS
with and without EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS.

So all suggestions of loading not DOS high, removing soundcards etc. are
now nullified. 

Looks like motherboard problems, doesn't it.
