There is another difference between test locations. If a memory module,
plug-in card, or drive is not firmly socketed then movement could cause
intermittent faults when the system is moved. In fact, that is a MUCH more
likely cause than the difference in operating environment. Disconnect the
AC power cord and remove then reseat all memory module, plug-in card, and
drive connectors. This has a good chance of clearing up the problem. If
you don't feel comfortable with this procedure, take it to a reliable
computer service center. Probably not the one you already used since they
evidently did not check for proper seating of removable components.
