As described above, my "Go 740 Live" keeps resetting itself whilst I am following a route (Not always but enough to be annoying) And if your coming up to a junction this can be very frustrating. Any ideas guys. Thanks

Have you tried hooking it up to your computer and checking for disk errors, I had this problem once, and my laptop reported and fixed some errors and my device was fine after that.

Mine's done this once in the nine months I've had it.

Thanks for your response guys. I just did a disk error check and it says it found no errors. But who knows. Will keep you posted.

I have had the random rebooting issue also!

I did a disk check because mine kept reporting an error when I connected it up to my pc, windows (7) kept offering to check and repair it.
I got fed up of hitting no and let it run a check, it said it had repaired an error.
I was concerned it might have b**gered something up but after testing it seemed to run fine.
It periodically rebooted itself but less frequently than before.

I have since run disk defragmenter, since running that I don't remember it rebooting at all!

My 940 has done the same 3 times in about 4 weeks, I haven't spotted a trend yet.

This has happened with my 540 on numerous occasions. Each time I contacted TT, they suggested performing a factory reset. This made no difference whatsoever. In the end, I returned it to TomTom for repair. They kept it for a week then sent it back saying that there was no fault with the device. However, they said they had "reflashed" it. It still resets when I am using it and I have now got used to it.
