I have an E3Dv6 on my SD4; much better than the stock setup.  If you change over, you must update the firmware.

What kind of print head?

If you changed to an E3D or similar, you MUST update the firmware with the correct thermistor settings, and adjust the MAX_TEMP setting for it to work properly.
Temp settings are very, very different for aftermarket hotends than what the stock hotend sees, due to thermistor placement.

I do have to agree with Tin, however - it does sound like you hitting the MAX_TEMP limit in the firmware and it is shutting down.

The only "manual" stop switch is the software one in Repetier Host, so unless you are clicking on it, that is not the problem

Sounds like you are at the upper limit of the machine . the temp overshoots slightly hits the upper limit and shuts down .
