HR10-250 Re-booting

Recently I've had the "Welcome! Powering Up" screen come up while both watching a recorded show and again tonight while watching the Olympics.

Anyone know what would be causing this?

Mine did it while I was recording Indy 500. Happened at the worst possible time. 8 laps left. By the time i came back up it started recording again as the winner was drinking the milk.

It's a hard drive problem however you can clean up your hard drive and stop the dreaded re-boots by going into the Menu under Messages & Setup, Restart or Test System, Reset Thumb Rating & Suggestion. This will take a number of minutes or hours depending on your hard drive. But since I've done it I have not have any more of the re-boot problem. Another suggestion is to turn off your unit when not in use. I had been leaviing mine on in the past. It is also a good idea to unplug your power cord at the back of the unit periodically to allow the system to reset. Again this requires a re-boot of the system but helps to clean up the hard drive.

Hopes this helps.
