Golden Spontaneously Rebooted

Hi Folks! New to forum. Please let me know if this is the wrong place for this. Current setup is Lightspeed > Deco > Dream > Lion > El Cap > Golden > Powered FRFR speakers. Power supply is a Zuma. Today, while not playing, I heard a very brief digital noise, and the Golden rebooted. Nothing like that has happened before, although I haven’t had the UA pedals long. I submitted a ticket so I could pose this question, but I thought I’d try here too. I’m hoping it was just an anomaly, static shock, or power blip (the Zumba is plugged into a power strip) and I shouldn’t be concerned. But, if anyone is aware that this is a sign of issues to come, I’d like to know. Thank you in advance.

Try it as the only pedal powered if it works that way then it’s a power issue

Thank you for the quick reply, it’s very much appreciated. To be clear, once it had rebooted, it continued to function normally and remained on until I shut down a half hour later. Everything had been running for a few hours before it happened. The same setup had been in place for a good number of days, barring a swap of the OD pedal. This is why I’m hoping it was just a minor surge/dropout/static shock that caused the reboot. I’m not familiar enough with digital pedals to know how sensitive they are or aren’t to such things. I guess I’m just hoping for reassurance that’s it’s probably not an internal issue with the Golden.

Are you sure the power cable was connected deeply enough? A brief power outage could be due to this, I guess.

Good thought, thank you! I reseated it on the pedal, and confirmed that it was firmly seated in the PS. This is one of those dumb problems where I both don't know how to recreate the circumstances of the problem, while at the same time hoping it was a one off and doesn't repeat itself. Everything is powered on right now, and will probably remain that way for a number of hours. I run a small retail operation, and get to noodle around when I have no customers. Most of the reason for the post (and the ticket) was to try to find out if anyone else had experienced anything similar, and if they did, what the issue was.
