HR21-700 receiver that frequently rests itself
I have a HR21-700 that frequently resets itself while watching recorded programming from the DVR. The receiver has typically been on for less than ten minutes. The internal temperature of the receiver showed to be 111F. I have also noticed that several times the receive has turned itself on (indication of a rest) during the night. The receiver has been in the same locations for about four years. I am not sure what to do.

Typical causes of random resets include:
* Poor AC power quality. Be sure the AC power cord is properly inserted at both ends. How old is your home's electrical wiring? Powering the DVR using a UPS instead of a surge protector is highly recommended.
* Overheating. Is your DVR in an enclosed cabinet? Could the fan be dirty or blocked?
* Dying hard drive.
