What power supply do you use? Have you mounted radiators on CPU and GPU?
from astroberry-server.
I am using a canakit power supply from this kit:
https://www.amazon.com/CanaKit-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Kit/dp/B01C6Q2GSY
After the instability issues began, I unplugged all peripheral devices except mouse and keyboard.
The psu indicates 5V 2.5a but I do not have a meter to verify this.
from astroberry-server.
2.5A should be enough. I can't reproduce this issue on neither 3B nor 3B+.
The boot is new so 3B+ can be supported. What I would recommend is to check RPi's temperature with
/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
The correlation of load and instability looks like there's a problem with CPU temperature on your board.
Also run stock raspbian OS for verification.
from astroberry-server.
Thanks for the lead.
I did put the small passive coolers on both chips as recommended by Canakit.
I could also verify that Chrome seems to be the almost instant death of the Pi. I have run the stock Raspian for ~3hrs before installing Astroberry.
I'll measure the temps tonight and will report back!

What happened after these 3 hrs with raspbian?
from astroberry-server.
It was a new Pi I had purchased just for the purpose of installing AstroBerry. After playing with Raspian for a few hours, I decided to install AstroBerry. while playing with Raspian, I noticed no instability whatsoever.
from astroberry-server.
Thanks for the feedback. Let's check the temperature first. We'll try to find the solution.
I'm using it on two of my scopes both on 3B and 3B+ and have had no problems with stability at all.
from astroberry-server.
Yeah, if this would be a more wide-spread issue, you'd see people complain a lot more. I think my problem is an isolated one. I will report back as soon as I can read the temps.
from astroberry-server.
I did some test runs.
Idle temp is ~43C
Carte duCiel brings it up to ~48, same with Kstars.
Chrome brings it up to ~56C. However, pretty much consistently, Chrome will cause the Pi to reboot. Either upon starting of Chrome or when I navigate to a different web page.
I'd use the built in firefox but that crashes upon startup as well.
from astroberry-server.
It's a bad news then. The temperatures are by far normal.
Crashing firefox unfortunately is also normal - the one originally distributed with Ubuntu Mate has this problem, you can replace it manually with the one from Ubuntu:
wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_52.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_armhf.deb sudo apt-get -y purge firefox sudo dpkg -i firefox_52.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_armhf.deb sudo apt-mark hold firefox
The only thing that comes to my mind is to try other SD card. If it doesn't help it must be some kind of a hardware problem. On the other hand it does not appear on Raspbian... Very strange :-/
from astroberry-server.
To add to the confusion ...
I just took the SD card and plugged it into another Pi that I had ordered. Brand new as well.
Boots up just fine without low voltage warning, runs Chromium, Kstars etc.
Could it be a defective Pi board?
from astroberry-server.
Yeah, it looks like. That's why I mentioned a hardware problem. I would try to return it to a supplier, as a defective product.
