Netgear R8000 powered off spontaneously

I have a new Netgear R8000 that I flashed with DD-wrt that spontaneously shutdown after about its first 12 hours of use. When investigating I saw all the lights off but other devices on the same power strip had power. So I unplugged it and it powered back up and came back on line and has been running ok for 8 hours. Since I don't know what caused it can I trust it? Has anyone else seen this happen?

    If you're running 3rd party firmware, you'd want to check on their forums. This is for stock firmware and you're more likely to get better advise for the firmware you're running on their forums.
