First time it reset in about a month. Always does the same with SD card in even if blank as I said.
Has reset with no SD card in, but recovers faster.
Can't easily take it back as I bought it in Vancouver and am in a small Yukon town.
Wifi has never been turned on as I don't want it to download update.
I just found it curious that it appeared frozen for an hour or more and eventually recovered. What can it be doing for all this time

And why would it recover faster when connected to the USB port on computer.
