Constant rebooting, every few mins , yet recording seems to work ok

Just noticed this issue, where the box is constantly rebooting every few minutes, yet the scheduled recordings seem to take place correctly as expected, in as much as they show in the media list with a correct time length
But trying to watch a recording it will still do the rebooting dance

Box is running the custom firmware
Nothing showing in the Crash log about this

Here is snip of activity log when problem started - the 04:03 - it a daily reboot by wi-fi plug
Where the reboot is 15 min or so
23/04/2025 20:59:54 - Recorded: Annika/Annika (60 minutes - U&Drama)
23/04/2025 21:00:21 - Recorded: Coronation Street/Coronation Street (59 minutes - ITV1 HD)
23/04/2025 22:01:08 - Recorded: Annika/Annika (60 minutes - U&Drama)
23/04/2025 22:03:25 - Recorded: The Feud/New: The Feud (62 minutes - 5)
24/04/2025 04:03:07 - System booted (Power cycle).
24/04/2025 04:37:47 - System booted (Power cycle).

Here is current situation where reboot is every 2 mins or so

02/05/2025 09:25:02 - System booted (Power cycle).
02/05/2025 09:26:32 - System booted (Power cycle).

02/05/2025 09:30:51 - System booted (Power cycle).

Yesterday I noticed the Sysmon graphs were not being displayed, so deleted the Monitor.db which then displayed graphs Ok
That also seemed to fix the rebooting problem too, as there were no reboots after that fix until after the 04:00 daily reboot this morning


Any suggestions where to look next for a fix please
T.I.A

From standby? If so, then the rebooting must be triggered by something which isn't running while recording-in-standby (half awake).

You seem to have found the fix, although I can't explain why sysmon wouldn't be running in half-awake.
 
Not from just from standby, as we watch the TV signal from the Humax ( gives better Quality picture) , So we see the reboots happening, but they happen all through the night when we aren't watching

Found the fix ?
But this morning Sysmon graphs are displaying OK - but the reboots are continuing
 
Not that I'm aware of .....

But that might be relevant,
Because I've just pulled an older unit out of storage, and it was initially doing the very same thing - thought I was going mad
That unit has been in storage a long time, it managed to stay up long enough to allow me update all the packages which seemed to stop it rebooting - though a bit too early to say yet

The original unit, I've got it up on the bench with the lid off and its not rebooted since !

So I will be adding DLNA filter to both and see how I get on
