Could be the ball/trough switch not working..... not closing when a ball is there.
The machine won't put the ball into the shooter lane until it knows one is in the trough.

If you haven't already be sure to check the fuses under the playfield.

Also, if it hasn't had the ground modifications done to it, this can cause the problem.
I have a Raven and mine did exactly that, coin up but won't start. Reset during a game, or reboot unexpectedly.
Gottlieb Raven is a System 80/B game
