Your experience sounds to me more like a hardware problem than
software. For example, the continuous rebooting may be caused by an
intermittent ground connection to the G1000, causing its power to
switch on and off. Given that the panel was "hacked" by the same
outfit that made the poorly kludged aux tank system (a system that
clearly does have a major design flaw) and gave you the bogus
operating instructions, I am far more suspicious of them than
Garmin. The G1000 was only the most obvious indicator of a major
problem somewhere in the aircraft.

Most reboots are caused by software. If the power were being switched
on and off, it would not be synchronized with the boot process.

The avionics in the aircraft that I fly reboot when they are powered off
then on. No synchronization required.

Of course, in the sims that you "fly", software is the *only* thing that
can cause a reboot, so it's understandable that you would arrive at that
such an opinion.
