Screen blacks out midway during boot

I had the same problem when powering down the XO by holding the button down - I had to reinstall the image from a flash drive to get it to work again. I really think something should be done about this - the laptop is going to freeze sometimes (mine has twice) and when it does, you shouldn't have to reinstall everything. Especially since little kids in other counties probably don't have flash drives.
