      Not sure if this is a common issue, I feel like I have see it around recently. Updated all the firmware and not over clocking my Rasberry Pi 4. Any game on any console crashes the rasberry pi 4 at about 10 mins. No overheating or anything. Screen just goes black.

      Pi Model - Pi 4 4gb
      Power Supply used - Vilros USB-C 5.1V 3A
      RetroPie Version Used - 4.6.2
      USB Devices connected - Wireless Game Controller x 2

        @eiger23 Please add more info about your system, as detailed https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        Your problem looks very similar to older posts from users that incorrectly installed using the Raspbian full image (or used a 3rd party image) and ran RetroPie from the desktop. After 10 min., the screensaver would kick in and blank the display.

          Yeah I assumed it was the screensaver since pressing a few buttons on the controller would kick me back to the retropie menu. So what do you suggest I do? Whats the best solution here? Thanks for you help!

              You didn't mention how installed RetroPie.
