Root rebooting like a mother

For the past week or so, (and increasingly getting worse and worse) my phone has been rebooting constantly. I was on netarchy 4.3.2 cfs-no havs-no sbc-no bacon no cheese and everything was beautiful, still getting excellent battery life, but it started rebooting recently while doing certain things.

While on the phone with people sometimes i play angry birds ( :p i know lol) and between the two, the phone would just reboot. I figured it was too much or something (still, should be able to handle that, so it was odd).
Ive gotten to JUST playing angry birds for 10 mins and causing a reboot. I thought it could have been overheating (only getting to 100-105ish) but now, it reboots all the freaking time. Today alone, it rebooted during taking a few photos, then while playing words with friends, then while on the internet.

So, i tried going back to netarchy 4.1.9.1 (cfs something i forget, one of the versions i have used and KNOW is stable) and reboots galore.

Just now, i wiped data/cache/dalvik reflashed Myns and it has rebooted a total of 5 times in the last 10 minutes.


So, i am going to unroot and take it into sprint tomorrow. Unless anyone has any other ideals.
 
i have a quick question does it reboot alot when you go into the bootloader or recovery? cause it would be hard to unroot if it keeps rebooting when entering those menu..
 
I think you should try a stock rooted rom and a stock kernel. Just to rule out its not either of those playing bad with your phone. Also out of curiosity is netachys 4.1.9 based on the latest htc kernel? His other kernels have been giving me problems too, maybe I'll also try it out.
 
It doesnt give me problems in recovery or bootloader, yet. I havent spent too much time in it though.
I was wondering if the cpu is going bad, and maybe couldnt handle certain things anymore. So i was going to re download angry birds and try playing it for a while.

I might have to try a stock rom. Im on the stock kernel now, (comes with myns) and it did it.
The only thing is myns works so smoothly on my phone, ive been using it for months now and its been great. So i feel like it is a problem with something in the phone going bad. Maybe i fried it with too many awesome root goodies lately, lol

Edit: and also netarchys kernels have been perfect for me, i have always used only them and i have put them on my friends evos, i know some of them will not work with some phones, so you will have to experiment. Im using stock now just to rule it out anyway though
