Is this (very old) hardware just giving up the ghost, bad RAM (I've

Memory is a fairly likely candidate; run memtest86++ and/or
pull sticks of RAM.
I have an old box here that boots fine normally, but if I happen to turn
the monitor on during the initial seconds it panics. I'd blame that on
an old, intolerant power supply. So, I either turn on the monitor
before, after, or just leave it off. ;)
