Sounds like it could be a pressure problem. Without looking it can't be diagnosed properly.

It depends on the boiler/system type, combi boiler; most likely a flow switch or diverter valve Conventional/System Boiler; Could be one of a few components ie cylinder stat, programmer or 3port /2port valve. you would really need a plumber with fault finding experience to investigate and to identify the problem accurately.
