When I had my pi3 running Kodi and on my HDTV, an option was to use a USB to micro USB cable, and plug the pi3 directly into HDTV USB port for power. HDTV off/pi off. Just make sure your HDTV supports USB media (don't plug it into a service port). http://s28.postimg.org/4abj94pot/WIN_20160411_11_08_...

Try it in win10 using diskpart Hold or right click start, select 'command prompt (admin)', then 'diskpart', then use 'list disk' or 'list volume' whatever works for you. Select the disk or volume that is your sdcard, then clean it. For example, say disk 0 is your sdcard: diskpart list disk select di...

Why not just use a on/off switched surge protector, and plug the pi into that?

That is what I do. Protects the device, and is a convenient on/off switch.

Does anybody know the default values for the settings?: gpu_mem= arm_freq= over_voltage= sdram_freq= core_freq= gpu_freq= Because I'm not even sure how much of an overclock people are applying in their suggested setting :/ Pi3 defaults (if I am not mistaken): ARMv8 (Cortex-A53) CPU (1200 MHz/600 MH...

OK, but isn't it only faster at the startup? I mean, once your computer is started, most of the OS is in some RAM, so it doesn't matter where it came from in the beginning?

My $12 32GB Samsung Evo+ UHS-1 sdcard @ 100 MHz has Write speed @ 20 MB/s, @ Read speed @ 41 MB/s

It has its own installer. Double click the .iso

win10 IoT has no (GUI) user interface, and currently doesn't support WiFi/BT on the pi3

Heat sinks are needed, if you want to get the best speed, but they are quite useless, if there is no airflow, which is the case in most closed plastic boxes. But that does not destroy data on the SD card or even on a USB stick. This must be caused by something else. I think the implication is that ...

I use an old blackberry phone charger of 5V 700mA to power my Pi Zero, can I use this to power a Pi 3? Not if you want your pi3 to function very well. My pi3 struggled with 5V 2A tablet usb power adapter. .7A is less than 1/3 of the recommended Amperage, and chances are good your "5V" charger doesn...

Who was the *actual* seller? This looks rather suspiciously like a scam. Amazon is notorious for sending wrong stuff. Especially if they fulfill the order. That is why I try not to use Amazon (plus their pi3 prices are ridiculous). Better off ordering the pi3 from the official distributor (which in...

Normal. Green light is solid/steady when pi3 shutdown, but power is still beingsupplied to pi3 (red light). If at ANY time, the red light is not steady/blinks, you have undervoltage issues (if it is off, there is no voltage at all). I usually wait till the green light is solid/unblinking before I co...

Rive

you may want to consider whether the built-in wifi and greater heat generation of the faster 64-bit CPU of the Pi 3 are important for your project before returning it. The pi3 is way better. trust me. Just invest in a $1 heatsink for the SoC, and $4 fan, or $6 fan/case and you are good to go. You n...

When i was overclocking my pi3 I saw something like that (overclocking gpu-freq)

What OS are you using, and have you modified the config for the core/GPU?

Rive

Thanks. Resolved. Looks like it was caused by cups/hplip/hp-setup: sudo apt-get install hplip sudo hp-setup -i In any event, through trial and error, I stopped the boot fail error by commenting all out like so: sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf /etc/modules-load.d/cups-filters.conf # Parallel pri...

Have you changed something in /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf? because it looks like you may have introduced a syntax error or are trying to load a non-existent module. sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf /etc/modules-load.d/cups-filters.conf # Parallel printer driver modules loading for cups # LOAD_LP...

Sorry.....I don't have a camera to take any pics so this is the best that I can do: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221950553658?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I can give you a tip though. Get rid of the thermal tape and use a very thin coat of thermal glue. If possible you migh...

In case you missed the post above.... I am surprised that the cooling in that case of yours is so good. I wouldn't think it would have the ventilation. Cpuburn is basically just about the heat, and only adequately cooled pi3's are gonna survive it. For you to stay in the low 70's @1.3 GHz on the ove...

i am surprised that the cooling in that case of yours is so good. I wouldn't think it would have the ventilation.

Cpuburn is basically just about the heat, For you to stay in the low 70's on the overclocked pi3 is awesome.

The best I can do is 79C throttled to 1.2 GHz on my overclocked pi3.

Where is the 'top' ? (showing cpuburn for 15 min) Did you run that showing cores and CPU % and time? top (then hit '1') Two simultaneous running terminal windows: Terminal 1: while true; do vcgencmd measure_clock arm; vcgencmd measure_temp; sleep 10; done& ./cpuburn-a53 Terminal 2: top looks like th...

Edit: Not sure if it makes a difference but iceweasel with three open tabs was running at the same time. It makes a difference. A big difference. I can run cpuburn and it hoovers at 79C/80C, and throttles down to around 1200 MHz. If I open chromium and surf it uses a significant portion of one of t...

My Pi3 has been getting hot enough to desroy data on the micro sdcard and USB data card. So whether it's within specs or not is moot. You can't have that kind of heat. I have heatsinks and the proper 2.5amp power source. What i've found is that Firefox is keeping all four CPU cores running 50%-70% ...

I am actually pleased with the friction sdcard slot (I am not a big fan of the spring loaded slots as they tend to pop out alot on our tablets). ...since the Pi3 is getting so hot its destroying the data (yes I have heat sinks). As for the heat, it has already been determined that heatsinks alone ar...

FYI $100 is kinda high for a used monitor IMO. There is a US computer store (A1Computers) that sell online used dell 19" monitors for like $15-$30 Are these touch screens which is what the OP was talking about. Ahh...

FYI $100 is kinda high for a used monitor IMO. There is a computer store (A1Computers) that sells used dell 19" monitors for like $15-$30 and will ship (is my understanding). I called them, and they have 100's of monitors in stock. 1 yr replacement warranty. see: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...
