I have had "static crashes" due to dry electrolytics. *If you have a scope,
you might watching the dc lines to see if you can observe any of the

It could be a number of things, such as a poor ground caused by oxidation or
even a noisy resistor. *A scope should be able to help you isolate the
general area.

Note that if it is a bad electrolytic, often paralleling a good one will not
eliminate the crashes. *The bad one needs to be removed from the circuit.
