Spontaneous reboot...

[D. Manley]

Hmmm...

After a couple of hours on-time this afternoon and while watching the news, my HWS went blank but green power light remained on. After a few seconds passed I tried to turn it off with the remote & had no effect. Thought it was locked up for some reason & got up to go reset it but before I got to it, it began resetting on its own. Had no timers active, only one tuner active & no problems of any kind. Also, still on S515 before and afterwards.

A fluke or trouble coming my way?

I've had the same thing happen, but not very often.

Is it inside a cabinet, or otherwise have the side vents blocked in any way? High internal temps can cause that.

I had all types of symptoms (including this one) when my hard drive was going bad.
