1st Generation Ipod touch keeps crashing/going into stand by mode 3.1.3

I have a 1st generation ipod touch that I recently restored to the newest firmware 3.1.3. My problem is that after this restore and subsequent restore attempts is that the device keeps clicking off to a black screen when I use wifi or transition from different desktop screens. The device does not completely crash as once the screen goes black I can hit the home button an slide to unlock. I have found that if I disable wifi this problem does not occur. I have tried to both reset and restore with no success. Any suggestions or ideas?

If a restore did not help, I'm afraid you have a hardware issue there.

How to wipe a 1st Generation iPod Touch keeping the 2.2.1 software

I want to sell my first generation iPod Touch (have an iPhone now).
I want to wipe all personal data from the iPod, but I want to keep the 2.2.1 software update that I purchased from it.
Not sure how to do it.

You could restore.
Page 111 of the manual:
"If you restore, the latest version of iPod touch software is reinstalled, default settings
are restored, and data stored on iPod touch is deleted, including downloaded
applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
data. In iTunes, you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on
iPod touch.
Page 96:
"Erase all content and settings: Connect iPod touch to your computer or a power
adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
This feature resets all settings to their defaults and removes all your information and
media on your iPod touch by overwriting the data stored on iPod touch."

1st Generation iPod touch stuck in restore mode.

iTunes can find iPod in restore mode, but when I begin the restore, my computer says device is unrecognized, and I just get the apple with an empty bar below until it times out. Computer says device has reported problems, but device worked before reset on older computer. 4th generation ipod works fine on my Windows 7 computer. I already tried every Apple troubleshoot I can find.
