The reasons that a router locks up are the same reasons that a router reboots. For that reason, this FAQ answer is also very appropriate:

/faq/11915

If the router locks up very shortly (or immediately) after applying power, the likely cause is a power source that is not supplying the correct output power. Suggestion: Near the power input, you can read the required rating and polarity of the power supply. Ensure you are using the correct power supply. If you suspect that your power supply is failing and is no longer producing the rated voltage, amperage, and polarity cleanly, you should replace it with another power supply of the same specifications.
