          @Ravensourcious Do you have any special config.txt settings for the GPU (memory split) ? Do you have any other extra configurations/programs installed (i.e. video screensaver, video previews, MDB music.. ) ?

            No extra setting or programs, the only editing to the config.txt has been to shutdown the bluetooth.

                @Ravensourcious It still looks like a power issue. Are you able to try another power supply ?

                  @mitu let me scrounge my house, I don't currently have the funds for a new power supply. Will update shortly

                    @mitu what power supply is suggested? I'll have to purchase a new one, I was avoiding spending money on a possible solution, but if its the only solution left I guess I don't have a choice.

                      @Ravensourcious I can't guarantee it would solve you issue, it's just that the symptoms match an insufficient power supply.

                        @mitu I'm going to try reflashing my sd card first while I wait for my power supply to come in, since that's free. What's the best suggestion for a good power supply?

                            After the reflashing I've been running tests for a few hours tonight and haven't seen it freeze. Will keep this yup to date if the solution holds

                              @mitu It was an image issue, reflash fixed everything
