Hi David,
When you get intermittents, that means you have a full crack not a
micro-crack. Fractured solder joints are notorious for this, and cannot be
found by X-ray or visual innspection. Your description makes me suspect not
so much solder joint cracking, but interfacial separation due to 'black pad'
or a similar problem causing an absence of a metallurgical bond.
Cross-section some of these joints to see what you have, an effective
screening procedure is vibration.
