Random Crashes

[Old Blue]

My HDR has started randomly crashing - sometimes up to six per day and usually when something is recording...

Is a CFW reset the way to go? Or a system flush?

mmm... You can try a short-cut to System Flush in hope, and/or Fixdisk, but if that doesn't work you'll just have to worth through the diagnosis systematically. I see no particular reason a firmware reinstall is any more likely a solution as any other.

What is your network connection?
The. Humax does not handle network issues well

The network connection is wireless. I've had dnla-filter installed for ages and it's only in the last week that the random reboots have been happening. As far as I know nothing has changed on the network but I will triple check with the kids just in case one of them is 'trying' something. Reading through the link that Black Hole supplied, I was going to give the reset DLNA database option a try first.

Just to follow up:

Disk was only installed 10 weeks ago, so showed no problems
DLNA database reset had no effect
Disconnecting from the network had no effect
System flush worked - the box is stable again.
