on that note, our old qube2 (which performed like a gem for nearly 2 years)
suddenly started dying and rebooting spontaneously earlier this year.  it
turned out to be a bad power supply that when it reached some critical
temperature would just cut out.  in our case though, it would not come back
up (as yours does for 15 minutes at a time) but would instead just sit there
never making it out of the boot cycle before the power supply cut out
again.  the only way i could get it to stay up while we waited for a
replacement was to put the power adapter in front of our enclosure fan.

don't know if this will help you, but checking over your hardware might be
worth while.

good luck, having angry customers sucks.

mikey.
