Could be something as simple as a bad (corroded) battery connection. When you have no power (dead batteries or some other reason) the shutter defaults to sync speed. If it really is going to sync speed when you get your problem the most likely cause is a temporary interruption of power somewhere, so a bad power switch would be the next candidate.
