CRASH!

   For some time, my 800 has had the characteristic that it would
tend to crash, some time (usually about a couple of hours) after
power-up. The time before crashing has recently been decreasing;
it's rare that I can get the thing to work for an hour straight, 
now (thank the gods that I have a disk drive!). I suspect that
the problem is due to a poor connection between one of the innumerable
cartridges and the bus; however, sometimes the crash will come when I'm
not touching the machine, and hence it wouldn't be due to a cartridge
shifting in its socket.
   Question: do many other people have this problem with their machines,
or is it time to bring mine in for service?
Thanks in advance.
