Default Radio Has lost its mind

My 07 my gig is going out of control... It started last night, every 30 seconds or so it appears to reboot itself. It's driving me insane. I've read some other posts and I pulled the radio fuse and it's fine, put it back in, mygig still reboots every 30 seconds,....

Anyone have any ideas on quick fix??

Thanks

Mine acts up on me a lot too... best solution I have used is to take BOTH battery cables off....hold them together...yes I mean hold the positive and negative cables together for about 1 minute... this apparently drains all remaining memory in certain things...

Put the cables back on....and this usually works for me for a couple of months

Thanks NeverStock! Anyone else have any ideas.
Not sure if it's important but my battery is original and has white corrosion like a beast, I cleaned the mounts recently. Could the battery be dying/causing this to happen?
