Core volatility

With "after reboot" do you mean a power off, power
on cycle?

Core memory is critical while power off/on.

If power fails after the read cycle and before
the refreshing write cycle then the contents is lost.

So maybe you have problems with the power supply or
the power fail logic.

Just my 2c
