Is it your box that turns on then off or is it your pictures is there, then not?

It sounds like a power surge of some kind, or a bad power supply.

Turn you receiver off via back switch then unplug from wall. Disconnect all cables from the back.
Plug unit back in then turn power on via back switch. What happens?

I had this happen to me once and it turned out to be a bad coax cable. The outer wrapped cable ended up touching the inner wire and would cause it to shut down. Not saying this is it but disconnect coax cable and see if it still shuts off
