For some time now I have had a strange problem with the system booting and going into a reboot loop. There are several situations in which this occurs.
First right after the EPG is updated. I'm using ZAP2IT set for 11AM update. I have two profiles define, one for cable (about 30 channels) the other for Dish satellite (about 100 channels). Normally no one would see this happen because no one would be home. But on those occasions when I work at home or on weekends it happens as regular as clockwork. Almost without exception when the update occurs the system boots itself after what appears to be the first profile -- around 11:15AM. The system will boot itself and then continue to reboot just as one of the GBPVR functions kicks off. The strange thing is that when someone gets home at 5PM and turns on the set the system is up and waiting properly --- I have no idea how many times it has rebooted in the meantime however.
I do know that it is possible to shortcut the reboot loop by starting in Safe Mode, setting "ChkDsk c: /f" for the next boot and restarting the system. ChkDsk NEVER finds or fixes any errors but when the system reboots after ChkDsk GBPVR always starts normally.
The second situation is a random reboot. This evening in the midst of watching a program the system rebooted itself. It then went into the reboot loop until I started in Safe Mode and ran ChkDsk. As always, ChkDsk does not find or fix any errors but when the system restarts GBPVR runs normally.
I've attached the entire set of logs from today in hopes that someone can help sort this out.
