Loose connection in the supply line will do that. It only takes a momentary
open to shut the K3 down until the POWER button is reset. 

Do you have a fuse in the supply line? Fuses often fail that way. Even
running within their spec, they get warm in use. A defective fuse may open
circuit from the heat and, when you cycle the power supply again, it has
cooled and reconnected the circuit. Such a fuse will fail completely before
long, but some will act that way for a while. 

If you are at a FD field site, severe RF feedback can result in unintended
commands to the uP in the K3, which might include an OFF command. 

Just a few that come to mind. Hope you find it soon or it doesn't interfere
with your FD score!

This has not happened to me before....

Running some FD here on CW for about an hour in an AC room

The rig just went off.  Dead.  Power supply is ON.  Pressed the power
button....comes back on.

Anyone see this before....I have not.

 In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you
don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you
can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common
Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my
mind.

Never interfere with anything that isn't bothering you.
