My guess is that there is a broken track on the motherboard ,give it a
flex or take it for another drive in the car(old cars in conjunction
with bad roads work best).

And just to add my two cents. It could be a loose CPU or faulty socket. If
it only works when it's cold, you could buy some freeze spray, then start
isolating the area by freezing an area, then powering up.

The move probably reseated everything - just push all the cards in properly.

If it's working - it ain't dead
