Sell all your hardware and switch to cloud mining, its much better. You can sell your gh at any time or buy more and it starts mining for you instantly. It pays into your account per block and you get paid in BTC, NMC, IXC and DVC. To start mining just click in my signature below :)

Check on your power supply, usually thats the problem...

Apart from power supply problems, did you check the temperature? It might be overheating...

also possible that it runs hotter then the other one.  taking the case off and adding a fan to the side is a cheap fix

Yes, you can also try this method first which is the easiest...

no errors-- but after further investigation  I noticed its powering off early inn the morning when the swimming pool filter automatically turns on. Not every morning but maybe every other morning

You can consider buying yourself a power surge protector, you can get a really cheap (about 20$) which is good here http://www.belkin.com/us/BSQ700-06-Belkin/p/P-BSQ700-06%3bjsessionid=0945DEAE96F30A52932A2265E7846A24/
