Why would my agilent N6701 turn off and then back on during GPIB communication?

I have tried a couple of different USB to GPIB converters and I have also tried a different PC.  The Issue seems to be purely the PS.  The problem is a bit intermittent as well.  When in MAX I query the device a few times and the device reponds properly but sometimes it just restarts the device.  I have a very simple VI that controls some voltages on the instrument and when I try to run it it comes up with a communication error and restarts the power supply, or it comes up and runs for a minute and then the error happens.

Ask Agilent why it is happening. Probably broken hardware/firmware.
