Re: we had to get another one (which btw solved the problem).

What anti-static procedures were you following? (there's always the chance that this chip was good when shipped but damaged prior to its installation).

Particulary in a northern climate during heating season when the relative humidity of the room is low, it's easy to build up a static charge, then discharge it into a pin on the chip.
