It could be crashing, like memory dump crashing, or BSOD, minus the blue screen.
When I tried to upgrade my wife's 3G to 3.1, the first thing it did was shut down, not even 2 minutes into the update process. I then had to restore, as iTunes kept telling me that it found a iPhone in restore mode..blah, blah.
I restored, it installed the 3.1 OS, and she hasn't had any issues with it since.
Must be Uncle Bill's way of telling people to upgrade to a 3GS.
