Got JB 4.1.1 last night on. Took about 10 minutes or so.

It has always been a habit of mine to do a factory reset after every major update. So this morning I did a reset, installed apps, etc. Tab was fine all day. Before leaving for home this PM, I powered off the tab. Powered it up when I got home...now it gets interesting:

Powered up the tab.
Slid the lock to unlock the tab...it froze.
Ok, so I waited...it then proceeded to restart by itself.
Now it just restarts by itself...and would freeze and repeat...

Is there a way to factory reset this sucker via other means since I am not able to do anything on the tab?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

I think it is the volume plus power, but google Excite 10 hard reset to be sure.
