My Raspberry Pi is breaking my heart. I've got it all set to go online as<br>
<br>
a dial-in non-BBS, but I can't get more than three hours of uptime before<br>
<br>
it crashes. No warning, no errors, no syslog output - it just freezes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Pi is notoriously finicky about power. So I've tried powering it with<br>
<br>
the 700mA micro-USB power adaptor that RS sold to me with it, two different<br>
<br>
hubs, one of which was rated for 3.5 Amps, and the other actually listed on<br>
<br>
the Raspberry Pi verified hub list. I've measured the bus voltage at<br>
<br>
between 4.8 and 5.2 volts depending on how I'm powering it, but even in a<br>
<br>
setup with a nice 5.05V reading it still crashes. I've even tried powering<br>
<br>
it from one hub while using a second powered hub for the peripherals.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Pi is hooked up to a powered USB hub, which is connected to an RS-232<br>
<br>
converter and a USB modem. The Pi is connected to ethernet and a 32GB SD<br>
<br>
Card (and I've tried a different card but it was still unstable). I've<br>
<br>
reinstalled from scratch four or five times now. Everything seems to<br>
<br>
function normally until it doesn't. I've tried it both in and out of the<br>
<br>
enclosure I bought with it. Running Raspian wheazy distro, with all<br>
<br>
updates installed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've run memtester and iozone for long periods to stress it out without<br>
<br>
errors or a crash, but a couple hours of completely idle time later its<br>
<br>
dead again.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Argh.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Are Pis normally stable?<br>
