Oh wait! I just had one of those with those same symptoms.....Lamp lit then it shuts off all by itself, and if you listen carefully it sounds like the lamp driver board shuts off , then restarts. Voltage readings made it look like it was turning on/off too. To make a long story short it still on/offed after replacing the lamp driver board....and REPLACING THE LAMP FIXED IT! I guess when the lamp goes bad, it somehow shuts down the lamp driver board or makes it sound like it does. Weird.
