Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello I'm on here trying to get help with a issue I've heard about. But have been able to fix my self in the past.

I haven't used my Pi3 for about 3 months.
But keep it clean and dust free.

Yes it's overclock but not to the extreme just enough to make my snes game run smoothly. Not trying to emulate n64 or dreamcast.

I I've just fully booted it to update and try the star fox 2 mini snes Rom dump.

I have connected my usb cable keyboard and I usb storage with the Rom I'll be moving to the on board sd card. And my ps3 controller sync throw Bluetooth. Witch I've all ways done it like this.

Today the little yellow lighting bolt put up.
It seems to trigger when I turn on the ps3 controller and do input. I checked to see my overclock settings. And from the backup file they have not changed.

The only thing I can think of is there is to much power being used on my 6 port power pack or could the power board be getting old. It is almost 5 year's old

What are your thoughts

Really no replies at all sigh.

Guess I'll move on to that more power single bored system I've been told about.

Buy the official 5.1 Volt 2.5 Amp 18AWG cable PSU

Some phone charger type power supplies have poor voltage regulation and will not deliver 5V under load. This works fine for phone charging because a phone will charge at 4.5V, but anything under 4.65V will trigger the low voltage warning on a Pi3. It could also be the micro-USB cable connecting the power supply to the Pi3, as many of them have thin wires with too much resistance to deliver the current needed by a Pi3 under load (USB 2.0 spec only requires 500mA per port, while a Pi3 can draw 2X-4X that when heavily loaded).

Okey cause I'm using a power supply that came with the pie set-up. Witch was a power supply and a cable with and off and on switch.

I'll invest in a power supply made by and for the raspberry pi 3.

This is what I'm using.

Okey I just had the TV and pie plugin and no power lose but in a different room is a different story I'll get the new power supply but I think it's the house
