Good point. I'll check.

It's a bit wierd. After a quick power cycle it starts the constant reboot 
cycle after about 3 to 4 secs. If it is powered down for a while and then 
powered up. the reboot cycle starts after about 5 to 7 secs. It could be
something heating up and failing.

The 3.3v and 1.8v regulators are linear on the 7200, so will be 
dissipating heat.
