It's due to the cover. I had the exact same problem with mine and it only stopped once I took the cover off.

Apparently the metal hooks that hold the Kindle are liable to short out the device if there's static electricity (since they're connected to the Kindle's internal power source). You can test this yourself by putting the cover on the Kindle and rubbing it against your clothing (or anything else that will create static electricity). In short time the Kindle will freeze and restart.

I've since sent the cover back and got a full refund.
