I'm a beginner on Cisco systems, in fact I'm being learning about CCNA for the last weeks in order to get the certification in a few months.
The reason for this post is related to issues that I have been experiencing with a Cisco Router 3640-IX-M that sometimes crashes (not being able to write any command sometimes) on my terminal session when it finishes the booting up process.
The router has been restored to defaults but anyway it shows the messages as follows:

I have performed some actions in order to identify if any interface is causing issues disconnecting all of them and then turning on the router again, the messages after booting up process are the following:

Then, if I starting to connect interfaces (shutting down the router and then turning on again) one bye one... it shows messages again.
Could router has a problem with the IOS installed?
I will appreciate any suggestion in order to solve this issue.
Thank you!
