A bad solder joint, usually caused by a lack of knowledge & experience, possibly stemming from getting everyone else to do your home work!

Pd/Ag doesn't usually dissolve (leach) nearly as bad as Ag only. In my hybrid days, we would use 62/36/2 solder. The 2% silver helps saturate the solder joint and thus keep the Ag from being leached away by the Sn.

Try Re-seating the card that connects the ISA slot from the computer mother board to the I/O Dpram card. It may be worth checking the ISA card for bad solder joints. The computer mother board could be going bad. Check for vented electrolytic caps. Ho

Without the proper tools in house you will not be able to determine anything but the most obvious problems. At minimum, some side looking microscope that would allow visual inspection of a row or two, and to be able to rule out bridging. Using that

What do the heel fillets look like and what level of IPC-610 (class 1,2, or 3) are you working to? Do the joints on all 4 sides look bad or just the one side? Do other parts on the board look OK?

Try to measure the profile again by datasheet..with the result that you will reduce the temperature in the areas below...increase the upper temperatures as needed according to the properly measured profile...I hope you can solve the problem like this

They don't look that bad, especially for SN100. There is evidence of wetting on the toe and the paste on the pad seems to have reflowed properly. What does the heal look like? That's the more critical part of the solder joint for Gull leaded parts.
