Five Minute Reboot-Loop

Hi Guys,

I have a Bug for a long time now (maybe because of SmyGo):

TV starts normal and works for around 5min, then the TV is rebooting on its own.
After that the same happens again and again and again.

To get rid of it, I have to put TV back to Defaults.
After that the TV will work normal for 2-3 Months and then the same happens again.
This Bug is happening on both of my F-Sreies TVs.

Does someone know how to solve this?

Maybe disable watchdog in service menu?

Don't know exactly, it depends on TVs. Search more you will find it :)
Most likely somewhere in "normal" service menu, no need for "extended".

Is it directly called watchdog?

EDIT:
Just found it.
Well now I have to see if it is working.
20min ago it just stopped rebooting for the moment. Have to wait if it happens again or not.

Cn you tell me what watchdog is watching or what it is for?

Watchdog is meant to survey and reboot TV if it reckons anything "wrong" or any intrusion not allowed by Samsung.
Having it disabled is always better anyway :)
