If it is getting to 97 it is not a firmware problem more likely a hardware problem:
1.Diconnect your sat cable from your box and see if it reboots if it does the problem is with your sat cable check the f connectors and make sure the core of the cable is not shorting or that the cable has not frayed along its length.
2.Try changing the power supply see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for replay I tried without connecting sat cable but still same even I changed power card but still same so there wrong with its board? or clone F3?

You've tried diff firmware and did the checks I suggested, the only thing I can say is if it was clone I would expect it to brick up or get file mismatch error not the error you are getting so might be a fault on the board some where, I am not sure but I remember seeing posts about replacing a capacitor on the board some more knowledgeble member may be able to point you towards those posts.

When you flashed the firmware did you tick the boot loader

I had the exact same thing when it got to L097, now when it gets to L097 does the numbers dim and then the box restarts? If so you have a duff power supply. Mine had some capacitors in it that had popped, My new one was about 8 quid from fleabay.

Which loader are you using?

I am having the same problem on my F3 box, its keeps rebooting when it hits L097 on the front display. its not the sat wire as it does the same thing without the sat wire in iswell.
I have done several reflashes via a null modem cable with older and newer firmware which all seems to burn fine. but the box seems to be stuck at L097 then reboots again.
Anyone fixed this yet? or any ideas or help please?
