Hi,
1. Be sure to have installed system 1.2
2. Do a reset: 
FACTORY DEFAULT MEMORY RESET
If you wish to restore the Machinedrum memory to its factory state, or to 
erase all data from the battery backed up SRAM system, you can use the 
memory reset function. It is accessed from the \ufffdearly start-up menu\ufffd. Press 
[FUNCTION] during power up to access this menu.

3. My MD is sensible to some midi signals and responds with restart: have a look at your midi signals you feed in.

Hope it helps

Did it only happen at that location? Does it ever happen at home? If
it was only at that gig, I would venture to guess that the problem is
a dirty power line.

I know that my MD did the same thing back at my old place, but at my
new location I have not experenced it once. You might want to pick up
one of those devices that give you a clean power line.
