I just got one of these and the first day it seemed to work fine without restarting. Then I noticed a couple random restarts thinking that I maybe pressed something, but that is not the case. I haven't had it long and still trying to figure out the pattern to it and makes it worse. I don't have many apps on it and not many apps running at once either. When plugged in charging it is by far much worse, actually to the point of being totally useless. It will just cycle through over and over, sometimes lasting for 10 minutes between restarts.

There is one trigger I think I have found and that is when it is plugged in and I put it into sleep by pressing the power button one time quickly it goes to sleep then restarts. It stays asleep maybe 10-30 seconds before it restarts, I know this because I tested putting it to sleep and within a few seconds pressing the nook button and it was still on but after more than 10 seconds it would restart.

I factory reset it a few hours ago and just turned it is still doing this even not connected to wifi and I have not even selected the language. After unplugging it from the wall it seemed to stop restarting. Thought it might a been the charger being that it was the cable plugged into dual ac outlet surge protector w/ 2 usb's. Its been on now for about an hour of constant use no issues at all. I plugged it into the B&N charger and into the A/C USB surge protector and they are both charging and working just fine with no restarts after being plugged into for at least 10 min to each one. It almost seems as if its a heat related issue, somehow a safety restart from being to hot.

It seems very inconsistent because right now its pretty hot and have been using it pretty heavily on purpose to test. Everything is running just fine and 2 nights ago I did several Benchmarks just to test compared to my other tablets, it did all of that fine and started restarting hours later that night. I know one thing for sure, if it off for at least 2hrs and then turned back on it has never restarted. Will rooting this with different OS fix it? Any help would be great. this issue is all over the internet with nobody knowing the cause of it
