Outlaw 990/7700 Powering Off

[badboi]

Most unusual situation and it has me stumped. I have the Outlaw 990/7700 combination, and last night all was fine in my world. This morning I turned everything on to watch the news, and the Outlaws turned themselves off. Came on briefly for about 10 seconds and then shut off. I checked my power center and no warnings or noises (it does that when there's an issue). So I check all my connections to make sure everything was tight and not causing a short. Everything fine. Unplugged the two Outlaws and let them sit for a while, replugged and same thing. So I figured not so bad, wanted the Onkyo 805 anyway, so here's my chance.

I went back a little later and, under my breath, said "One more time Outlaw, or your going to the knackers yard." Both powered up and stayed on. Can't figure out what the problem was. Again, all connections were fine (nothing loose or dodgy). Power center said power was fine and coming in fine. No wires touching anything else.

Anyone have a clue? Never had anything like this happen before when it would come back to life. Usually, once it does that, it's dead and either gets tossed out or sent in for repair.
