HR10-250 lock up. Any way to fix?
I turn on the TV and am "grey screened". The HR10-250 is on, but nothing works. I hard reboot, and it stays on for several hours, before going back to the vegetative state of the "grey screeen".
Any ideas on fixing? These just appear to be lock-ups, so I don't necessarily believe it is a drive issue, and it isn't a cabling nor a power supply issue, I think.
It stumps me. Thanks for help.

Actually, most likely it's a hard drive problem. Not a common symptom, but it does happen.

Surprisingly enough, after fiddling with the darn thing for a portion of the night, I was awaken at about 4AM to a message on screen.
The unit is overheating, so to stop damage, it shut itself off.
I think the fan is working fine, so I have to move the unit to see if I can figure out what happened.

Pop the cover and clean out the dust.

And while you have the cover off, make sure the fan is spinning

I think the fan is spinning. But everyone is right, it will be a good idea to check out the insides and make sure it is clean and the moving parts are working...
Temperature over past twelve hours hovering between 59 and 61C
