I use Steppes, and when I woke the box was still on, so I opened Myth FE to
see what it was recording, and was shocked to find the Terra theme "select
country and Language screen" as I navigated through screens in a panic I
saw one offering to update my database as it was 5000 versions outdated,
hence my assumption. Is there any info I can post or paste to help diagnose
what is going on here?

After trying the suggestion from ASN I opened myth FE saw the olive green
and in an attempt to avoid the select country unexitable cycle I hit
escape, which cause ony the olive color (full screen) to flash in one
second intervals and after closing all other open apps I did a hard restart
and it would not boot so I had to power down hard manually. After about an
hour it is now booted up and I have not opened myth FE yet and it has not
shut down automatically so I assume I still have a problem BE should shut
down after 15 mins. please help! TIA Daryl
