7 years ago @smiba this could be the same problem like the Baytrail crashs - intel has fu up the energy scheduler for kernel >4.2 (i guess). The only working solution till date (4.11 has the same problem) is to disable C-States at bios completely (basically just disable all power saving functions).

Hey everyone,
Got a Gigabyte GB-BXCE-2955 NUC (Intel Celeron 2955U, 4GB DDR3L, 32GB SSD) which has been running amazing since I got it and installed OpenELEC on it, handled 30Mbps video and 4K without any issue.
However since I've updated from 6.0 to 8.0 (From 6.0-->7.0-->8.0) I've been experiencing system breaking issues. The system sometimes just freezes, with the only solution to keep the power button pressed and let the system reboot. Its not a network issue as the CPU/System actually crashes.
Also a minor issue is that the device has issues syncing the video speed with the TV. Our 23.976fps content has always been prefectly in sync with no jitter at all. However since the newest version every 1-3 seconds it either skips one frame or shows one double. It is not able to deliver accurate playback and this is really annoying as its very visible to the eye. The FPS counter hops somewhere between 22.97 and 24.97 FPS which tells me that it might be having issues keeping the buffer filled.
Oh and its also not able to detect the 4K resolution of our TV anymore
This all tells me there might be a GPU driver related issue with this device, What should I do to debug this? What log files can I post here that would help finding the issue?
Can I just roll back to 7.0 without causing the system to break? From what I've noticed 7.0 to 8.0 is a pretty big change, but I'm not sure if this is just externally or also internally
Anyways:
Cheers
