Get a can of compressed air and clean out the sockets and around the where the sockets are connected to the mobo both top and bottom if possible. Also clean the plugs with the compressed air and 90% rubbing alcohol.

If that corrects the problem it may be time to clean the entire interior of the box, unseat/re-seat cables and cards, etc. - just regular maintenance.
