Thanks @deeveedee,
It is still puzzling that the event is so rare. Because I have owned both G4s and G5s, I can even go as far as to tell that the hardware are identical. The difference is in the BIOS and the biggest difference between the G4 and G5 is the CPU microcode and device ID preventing you from cross flashing BIOS. I can't actually see any other difference.
Between the 600 and the 800s, the difference is in the remote management support, also located in the BIOS.
Maybe look for some BIOS settings? Low CMOS battery? When errors are inconsistent like these, they tend to be a timing issue during the boot process.
