Hog 3 shutting down

About a week ago my console shut down in the middle of programming. It then attempted to restart but just keep going to the start up(very first) screen and then would go black for a second and then the back to the first screen. It did that a few times till i powered down. i tried to restart and it was doing the same thing. I had remove the power cable and wait a minute and then it started correctly. it worked fine the rest of the day till i went to shut it down at the end of the night and it started to shut down but then went to the start up screen and started to loop again. I was running 3.1.7 and decided to do a clean install to 3.1.9. Well today it shut down on me again while programming and started to loop on the start up screen but after the second loop it actually started so I logged back into the show and continued programming. What do you guys thing it could be? I'm on a battery backup so I don't think it was an external power issue. I was logged on as a client. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    if you've already done a clean installation, you may have a hardware problem related to the video card heatsink, when heating begins to not work as it should, try to see if the heat sinks are clean and not clogged with dust, and if under the main video card heatsink thermal paste is dry, you might try putting a layer of new thermal paste and try, so you risk only spend € 10 of thermal paste, groped would agree, also because in most cases, when processors will go into heat protection to prevent burning, and starch could easily be your case.

    Of course, you only attempt this if your console is no longer under warranty. otherwise send it to the nearest center.

    good luck
