Hey Corona, thanks for the reply.

Yes, you are correct about the Mini-PC it does use a small 5-volt power supply. That could be a possibility I suppose...

Also, I'm pretty sure my dmesg output also gets saved to the messages log file like you had said. So I'll attach my /var/log/messages file.
I'm pretty sure the data from dmesg shows in /var/log/messages as "kernel: [#####.#####] ......" messages.

One thing about this file that you'll notice... Since the only way to really power-off the CuBox completely is to unplug the power from it after
issuing a shutdown, the current date and time are not kept up on during the boot up, and the actual time doesn't show in the log until the Network
is up and NTP has started.

So in the attachment you'll notice the start date during the bootup is 2014-07-08 at 00:00:00... Then once NTP starts the time gets changed
to the actual time.

And of course, I just got back from my lunch break and before I left I rebooted the PC in hopes of stopping the issue and of course when I got
back all was fine. So I'll have to wait till it starts happening again to get those things you were asking about.

Also, the keyboard and mouse are just regular wired USB devices, so I'm not using wireless ones...

But here is the output from lsmod:

ppmtosixel

ppmtosixel(1)						      General Commands Manual						     ppmtosixel(1)

NAME

       ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap  as input.  Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output.	The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
       LJ250 color inkjet printer.

       If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled.  A printer control header and a color assignment table
       begin the SIX file.  Image data is written in a compressed format by default.  A printer control footer ends the image file.

OPTIONS

       -raw   If  specified,  each  pixel  will  be explicitly described in the image file.  If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
	      pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands.  A raw file is often an order	of  magni-
	      tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.

       -margin
	      If  -margin  is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever).  If -margin is speci-
	      fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.

PRINTING

       Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered.  Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.

BUGS

       Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion.  If the original PPM maxval was
       greater	than  100,  rescaling  also reduces the image depth.  While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
       color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen.  This seems to be a printer limitation.
