Retropie keeps crashing and restarting with SNES

Hi together,

I have a weird problem with my Raspberrry Pi 3 B+ with the newest Version of Retropie.

Its with a fan and heatsinks.

When I am playing a SNES game it keeps after some time freezing or makes a restart.

It hapens after variable time.

I cant do anything.

The power supply should be enough -> Model: HN-5258 / Input: 100-240V AC 50 and 60 Hz - 5V / 2500mA

The controllers are with cable connected.

I have also tried the 3 different emulators -> everytime the same problem.

Do you know what's the problem?

are you running an overclock?

what case?

generally, any sort of crashing or freeze implies insufficient power, and/or an unstable overclock. using a case with its own power board (eg, NES Pi case) can cause these kind of issues.

Hi,

no overclocking.

This open case:

@park757 i would guess at the power supply. is it this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EU-US-Plug-5V-2-5A-USB-Power-Supply-Adapter-Charger-Universal-For-Raspberry-Pi-For/32824300602.html

often the ones with seperate cables do not have a good enough cable for stable power. do you have any other USB cables you can try?

Yes I bought now another from Amazon and I will try it.

@park757 that one has an in-line switch, another common culprit for power issues. i can only recommend the official raspberry pi PSU: https://www.amazon.de/Raspberry-Offizielles-Pi-Netzteil-schwarz/dp/B01DP8O5A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1540998087&sr=1-1&keywords=raspberry+pi+power+supply

Hi,

I bought this https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01M58O9M9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but the same problem.
The Raspberry Pi keeps freezing.

Now after maybe 10 Min?

What my problem?

Is my raspberry damaged?

@park757 try the official PSU as recommended. One without an in-line switch.
