That would not generally cause software reboots.


Unless, of course, it was the power wiring. I suspect a momentary power
interruption could reboot a G1000. There's not much you can do about
that either (short of stuffing a 20 farad supercapacitor in the back of
the device or a fully fledged UPS).
