Ok so awhile back what I did was factory reset by holding a toothpick in the reset button for half a minute just to be extra sure. When it asks you to update to the latest firmware (.76) I said yes.
Now here's the kicker: do NOT restore your saved settings. Put them in manually one by one.
I haven't had any issues at all now. You can see my past posts that .76 was giving me lots of problems until I did this (I discussed it in several threads, not just this one.)
