There are 4 versions of PET 2001 system board:
   6540 or 2316B ROM's
   6550 or 2114 RAM

There are also several different versions of ROM's.

From the above, I see you have 6540 ROM's.  What type of RAM do you have? 
The addressing logic is slightly different.  What are the ROM part 
numbers?

This is definitely a malfunction on the system board.  The pattern at the 
bottom of the screen is typical of addressing problems.  The system has 
cleared the first three pages of screen RAM, but has crashed before 
displaying the usual start up message.
