I cleaned and *firmly* reseated the memory. It solved the problem.

Every now and again, when the weather changes or the computer is moved
(it is not, for obvious reasons, a primary system of mine) I have to
reseat the memory or this problem crops up. My guess is that either
the memory DIMMs were not quite made properly or there is something
slightly strange about the sockets they go into.

Next time, try air-gunning or dusting out the RAM sockets before
plugging in the RAM.
