      Hey all, I've sifted through the internet but I can't find this particular problem I have so I have decided to sign up and ask all you geniuses directly.

      MY SYSTEM-
      Raspberry pi Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1 with a 30W power supply.
      the HDMI leads to HDMI -> YPbPr converter, the Composite out leads directlt to my CRT T.V
      the OS is Linux retropie 4.14.98-v7+

      MY CONFIG FILE-
      hdmi_group=1
      hdmi_mode=21
      arm_freq=1100
      dtparam=audio=on
      gpu_mem=256
      overscan_scale=1
      core_freq=500
      sdram_freq=500
      over_voltage=6
      force_turbo=0
      temp_limit=65

      MY PROBLEM IN DETAIL-
      I like the ability to choose between YPbPr and composite (doesn't work in game) when sending the picture out HDMI it works and that's good but when using the composite at some point the picture freezes but the game still continues. I can use the controller to interact with the game and hear the game playing but if i try to exit back to emulation station the frozen picture remains but now the raspberry pi is unresponsive, I can however still SSH into it. But trying to get it working again results in even the shell crashing and I have no choice but to disconnect and reconnect the power.
