LPC2378 won't always start

I've got a new board with an LPC2378 on it, running a simple program for the moment.
When I turn power on, about half the time the processor won't start - the oscillator doesn't come on, code isn't executing. Pressing the Reset button doesn't have any effect.
I can't connect to it with ULINK in this state, either.

I have to turn power off, then back on, then it takes off without issue. Then if I cycle power again it's random whether it will work the next time or not.
Once it starts working, it's fully functional.

Could this be a PLL setup issue? I'm using the supplied startup code, which waits for the oscillator to stabilize before going forward.
Otherwise I'm thinking it's a problem with hardware...

Thanks
