I had a problem like this with a box that I modded.....although it wasn't modded at the time of the problem it still used to NOT BOOT all the time. It would only boot if I caught the hdd at mid spin down....so that's why I modded it and when i replaced the hdd it worked fine. I'm not saying that it's your problem,but the hdd could be going.....hopefully not though.
