My Sammy that just red-lined has had a similar problem intermittently ...

for the last 6 months. It randomly just turns off. Sometimes it turns itself back on and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't found any rhyme or reason or pattern to the behavior. I have a universal remote so it could definitely be related to which device turns on first. Found about a half-dozen 'solutions' online and none of them worked, though the problem hasn't happened in the past couple of months.

Now that it red-lined, I found a solution to the problem. Replace it with a different brand.
