I see. my HD is away from any heat source, in an air conditioned room. When I first noticed this, it was outdoors in the morning, no sun, in the shade, windy day (wind will remove heat), and away fro any other heat source, and it was less than a minute before it blinked off.

Bobcox, thanks for realizing it may not be heat related.
