I think it was a software bug that was fixed with the release of the v62 secondstage bootloader to stop overheating, which seemed to be a real problem for HD viewing. My own has only needed to be rebooted once due to overheating but lots of people reported the problem prior to v62 being released.

Image wise I found them all to be a bit buggy, Gemini 3.8 refused to move my dish, Nabilo was the most solid for me, and though its a bit long in the tooth now v0.4 is promised soon . Nabilo seem to take a bit longer to release their images but they seem to be thoroughly tested.
