It looks like my Nexus 7 (2013) has decided to die.
Earlier tonight it spontaneously rebooted, I've had that happen before, usually when an update doesn't agree with the OS. However, after booting it refused to log into Google. A reboot sorted this.
Just now I wanted to watch a last YouTube video before going to sleep and half way through the video it rebooted again. Only this time it freezes on the Google logo.
I can switch it off by holding the power button long. I can also get into the start menu by holding the power button and the volume down button at the same time. By choosing either "recovery mode" or "start" the tablet freezes again on the Google logo and I don't want to mess with the "bootloader" option.
I bought it almost a year ago, on the 25th of March. So it should still be under warranty. I already emailed the seller to see what they suggest (they have better customer service than Asus). Hopefully it can be repaired, since they don't sell the Nexus 7 anymore.
For now I'll just put it on the charger and see what happens in the morning.
