Steve,
First of all, I have no idea what is causing your problem. You seem to
have adopted the rule of thumb "When in doubt, reboot". With a different
problem that we've experienced on our MRC1024, we found that rebooting
wasn't sufficient. In order to "reboot" the system, we have to physically
unplug the control tower. Even when it is off, it is still receiving power
and doesn't reset by simply switching it off.
Good luck,
George
