Voltages on the regulators/stabilisers look good. Don't have scope at hand to have some more close look but maybe this rings a bell for someone?

250425 board. Voltages checked at regulators, VIC, SID, CPU and few other points for the "second" +5.

That seems to be fine. Funny part is that if I leave it on for longer it starts working better. Gets colour doesn't crash. VIC itself is fine too. Anyway, if it doesn't come as something that someone solved already I shall check it more thoroughly once I have better means for that ;-)
