I used to have the same thing happen to me all of the time.  A simple 
explanation of what causes the problems above (ADB can't sync, etc) is 
that you've probably got too much HEAT inside your cpu case.  When I got 
my SystemSaver IIgs, however, that problem disappeared.  (Just to let you 
know the difference, it used to happen to me daily, but now it hasn't 
happened to me but once in the 15 months since I've had my System Saver.)
