If it's nothing obvious like it's getting hot (are the vents clear, fan working etc.) then I would give VM a call.

I agree with Buffalo Jeff, if its happening on a regular basis that can't be right. I had a similar problem a few months back with my V+, CS sent out an engineer who came to the conclusion that my box was "knackered" he replaced it there and then.

If the box is losing the HDMI output intermittently this can often be cured by a hard reset i.e. power the box off completely for a couple of minutes. It's happened to me a couple of times.
