Unit locking up

I returned my first unit because it would lock up if not used overnight.  Did not seem to matter if it was turned off or on.  Required a power reset to get going again.  New unit seems the same.  Is this common?  Is there something I don’t understand?

It 's happened to me a couple of times.
