@obsidianspider said in Boot Problems with Pi 3:
Running a Fan from GPIO can cause issues as they tend to draw quite a bit of current. If you have a spare SD card, try using that to see if it works before you reformat your existing SD card.
Its a really tiny fan, like the smallest you can buy, smaller than a quarter.
Anyway, I tried a spare sd card and put the newest retropie image on it with the fan and led plugged in and booted up fine, still does the text then splash then text again then into emulation station but quickly and with no issues. Never use to see the text twice, only once before the splash screen, must be new?
I guess my other sd card is corrupt somehow now.
