My machine did the very same things, the first week after I bought it. I
took it back to the dealer and asked him to test the power supply. I got
it back the next day with a new power supply and it hasn't burped once
since. With all the flaky capacitors that hit the market I'd suspect
dodgy electronics first. If you have a spare power supply lying around,
I'd suggest replacing the one you have as a test. Just to see. Ric
