I second Eds response. I have a Digitech Studio Quad MFX unit that
repeatedly restarted itself and in other ways behaved strangely (from
when i bought it new). Thinking that it was an OS issue i waited for
an update to come out. I then forgot about the whole thing (since i
very rarely used it anyway) but 5 years later, i contacted their
support dep. and was told to make sure that the OS chips were seated
properly. I opened her up and found to my surprise that they were not
seated all the way so i pressed them down into their sockets.

Ta-daaaa. Never a glitch since then.

Do check it. Just be careful and you will be ok.

Kind regards
