I had the same problem with a creo lotem 800v2. Replacing the drum driver fixed the problem.
What you can do is to check if the green led from the drum driver turns off when the problem appear. This means that the driver is faulty. The drum driver is located inside the distribution box where the main power cable goes in.
I've started a topic with my problem here.
