Crashes when cold

Is anyone here shutting down completely? I had an issue early on where the T3 would not reliably boot, so I just set the power switch to standby mode. As this is quite a power hungry mode, I want to use deep standby. I have been keeping up to date, so I am on the latest bootloader and firmware. I set the sleep timer to deep standby after an hour of standby . Every time I start up the box from cold (not just cold boot, but actually cold from not being on since the day before), it boots and runs for about 5 minutes then locks up. I have to shut it down with the power switch and reboot it and then it stays running. This is very annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, a few people reported a very similar failure mode. The fix was to send the T3 back to Beyonwiz because it requires a board level repair. It doesn't take long and by all accounts, everyone that had that problem had it resolved permanently by the repair.
