Also, when it is in that 1-2 minutes of functionality, I can access the unit's storage with my PC.
It could also be a physical RAM (more likely) or MMC (less likely) defect. Anyway, you seem to have tried pretty much everything to make sure that it's not a software issue, so my guess is that some part of the hardware is failing.
