I am having a really super-annoying problem with my Patriot 8gb card, but I'm not sure if it's related. Any time I try to download a large file to my card (like a debian image), it gets to about 25-30 MB in and then the N810 restarts. The thing is, I can download the file fine if I use a micro USB connector on my computer.

I have tried:
  • Panasonic formatter
  • gparted on N810 to ext2
  • turning virtual memory off
  • using different browsers

Could it be a bum card, a bum tablet, a bum user????

Thanks!
