Intermittent restarts #134

Closed alexskinner closed 3 years ago

alexskinner commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I have a raspberry PI 8gb and 4gb and have tried the very latest release. What I see is intermittent restarts of the PI. Not necessarily when its doing something more commonly at Idle it will just restart.

I thought it might be under powered but I've trie the official raspberry PI PSU too. I thought it could be thermal but its not overclocked and have tried different cases with active cooling.

Are there any log files I could get at that might give a clue ?

Thanks

Alex

We've seen restarts occasionally but with our cases, they were most likely due to memory issues as we were tormenting the Chromium with WebGL intensive stuff. If yours happened during idle, I would still guess it's power. We don't use PI PSU on our testbed but a smartphone charger that supports high watts fast-charge. Perhaps you could try using an alternative power source and check if things could get better.

i/o related error could be another reason, so perhaps a new SD card would help.

To check log you'd need to establish a serial connection to the Pi to check dmesg or SSH to it and tail the /var/log/messages and check if there is any clue.

i experienced the same, then i found in release note, sleep is not supported yet default setting in device->power->when idl->while charging is sleep if you change that to something else, it should be fine

Yes it turned out to be the same thing for me i'd missed the bit about installing the always on extension
