Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

Maybe it's your power supply. What are you using? Is it the one constant between the old and new card. If you can put a voltmeter across the board's test points and see ≥ 5.0 V, you're probably okay. No other USB devices which could be drawing current? I’m using the “Raspberry Pi Official Universal...

Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

Ah, my apologies then! That makes perfect sense :) I just didn't want to do something for the sake of it! ;) It's ok we learn by asking questions, We have to start somewhere in trying to decide if it's a hardware or software problem and a test of the SD card is simple and can be left running while ...

Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

I would suggest you test your new SD card using a program like H2testW https://h2testw.en.lo4d.com/windows make sure you have everything off the SD card that you want first as H2testW will over right the entire card while testing. Definitely a good idea to test the card for any issues, the program ...

Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

Is it running 24/7 or does it intentionally or unintentionally get powered down sometimes? Losing power before a software shutdown completes can corrupt the filesystem. Yeah, it's running 24/7 but has constant power so shouldn't be at risk of any filesystem corruptions. I'm monitoring it via SNMP 2...

Re: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

Sounds as though the SDCard is dying. Back up anything important IMMEDIATELY :!: (You've done that anyway, of course.) Try a new install of Raspberry PiOS on a new SDCard (A1 16GB recommended). If that doesn't work the SDCard can be used with a new Pi. Hey David, thanks for the response :) Luckily ...

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B keeps dying!

Hi all, I have a feeling that my Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1) is on its last legs but I was just looking for some confirmation (or perhaps I'm wrong!). I've had the Pi2B since December 2015 but I haven't had it running that long. I used it on and off for a while in early 2...

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hi everyone! I'm Zander, I've recently started as an engineer for a mobile telecommunications company in the UK where some of the equipment they use (and that I have to navigate) runs on Linux which I've not used before myself so I've used my Christmas money to invest in a Rasberry Pi 2 so that I ca...
