      So, I was in the command line(alt+F4), I sent a reboot command. It did what it was suppsoed to, did a reboot. It comes back up, in command line, but my keyboard doesn't work, alright, i'll try to SSH in. So I SSH I can type, I try to start emulationstation, it start to boot, then crashed back to commandl ine, with this error:

      terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
      what(): std::bad_alloc
      Aborted

      So anyone know what I can do to fix this?

        @Exmix is your Pi overclocked at all? If so, I'd start by commenting out all the overclock entries in /boot/config.txt in case this is a general system instability. I'd also check that the SD card is well-seated in the socket.
