TIA
I have seen some very, very wierd problems like yours that were solved when a new CMOS battery was installed. I'm thinking that the processor loses a few bits & bytes if the battery is low, especially when it sat idle for awhile. It'll be locate at the bottom of the Motherboard, and should read around 3.15 VDC, (usually have to disconnect one lead from the board to get an accuate reading). You may be able to get a 'plug-in' replacement for it, but in any case, they are usually a $10.00 item at any larger battery store (try Interstate Battery).
Might NOT be the cause of your problems, but for the price, I'd give it a try.
