We've had a few PIX-501s overheat. No internal fans, so they are susceptible. We've also had one or two of these have problems with the power connector. It would boot and run, but slight movement of the power connector on the box would cause it to loose connection momentarily and reset. In

The point of termination between the pix and the power supply end point (shaped like a 7) is a known issue. If it moves at all or gets bumped at all it will reboot the devices. To rule this out you can try to zip tie it to the device in an effort to keep it still. If there is no possible

We had a similar problem with a PIX-525 (or was it the 520) with 6.3, We assumed it was hardware issues and replaced it, but if you have a computer you can stick on the console port, and have it's terminal program log everything to a file, it may provide more information. Scott Granados
