Touch Pro continually restarts

My touch pro continuously restarts itself. It fully boots up, and after a few minutes it automatically restarts itself and starts the process again. Anyone have any opinions as to whether or not this problem has a remedy? I'm afraid the phone is dead, as I've tried reflashing, hard resetting, and doing a "clear storage" (from the settings menu).

By fully boots up, do you mean it loads manila and then restart? If it's just showing the boot splash screen and restarting, you may be using a gsm custom ROM (which will result in the reboot loop at the splash screen). What ROM are you using?

Yes, it boots into Windows Mobile and loads Manila, and after a few minutes restarts. I'm using a stock HTC ROM.

which htc rom? you need the one for USCC.

it sounds kinda like a radio conflict to me, but a shipped rom should include the matching radio.

Flash the shipped exe rom from your carrier from bootloader.

I'm using an official HTC rom made specifically for USCC. It includes the radio.

Any other ideas?

Does it mean anything that it does not reset in bootloader mode? It seems like if it was a hardware problem it would reset any time the phone was in any powered state.

Wasn't sure what order I did everything in before, so I started over. I ran the re-locker again to make sure it was re-locked, then I ran the un-locker, then I flashed back to HTC's official US Cellular ROM. So it is currently unlocked with an official US Cellular HTC ROM on it.

kinda sounds like your power button may be sticking. if you can get it running again, try the keyboard config (or ae button) to disable that button.

Alas, I have already tried using Keyboard Config to do just that. I too have suspected the power button, but even with it disabled it still restarts. It isn't only when I push the power button that it restarts; that's just sometimes. Other times it's for no apparent reason. Is it possible that the power button could still be screwing things up even disabled?

Edit: To clarify, disabling the power button eliminated the restarting due to pushing the button. It did not eliminate the random restarts.
