gday. Just picked up my 6000 two days ago. I'm finding that the machine is overloading within a few minutes of me finding my first target turning the machine off and on or doing a Reset dose not settle it, nor noise cancel. Has any one experienced this issue?

I'd be taking it back, sounds like a dud coil? Have you tried both coils on it to see if it is the coil with a fault?

Not personally, but apparently there has been at least one similar coil problem, as reported here:
