That God %$#@ Lightning Bolt
-
@capeman my canakit gives me the occasional lighting bolt on my overclocked pi3. I have heard others say the same. I switched to a different power supply and no longer have issues.

I had no intention of overclocking my RPi. Just the idea of using a regular USB power supply that is commonly available to power it. Since I have two RPi's I bought 2 proper power supplies which hopefully will never give me a "Lightning Bolt" ever again. Unfortunately I had to wait until the guy who sold the things opened his store. Frequently he had a sign in the door that said "Back in 1 Hour".

This is the power supply that I'm using with my pi3, I am also using the super kintaro case. I have had no issues with this power supply and I'm overclocked.
Just an update to reclaim my thread. ;)
This has been working just fine for me. Haven't seen a lightning bolt since I started using it. Only hardwired 3A cables for me from now on. Thank you all for your suggestions. :)
