PI 3 NOOBS freeze after 2 mins

[bemo47]

Hello,
I received my PI3 yesterday, with the NOOBS SD card, first trial was perfect, boot ok, wifi ok, everything ok.
Then i installed a first soft "Skychart", with some difficulties as i don't know Linux, i had to add some libraries, but at the end was ok. I was able to use that software, quite slow, but working.
Today i reboot the Pi3, boot is ok, i can click on some windows juts after boot, but after 2/3 mins, everything stay freezed. Need to boot again.
Any idea on the cause of this issue ?
I can reinstall NOOBS from scrtach but before, if someone has an idea....

Regards,
Bernard

NOOBS is an installer / chooser and NOT AN Operating System.

Whatever Operating System was installed by you, you can not randomly add software, it has to be compatible...

....so what was installed ??

Ok, got it, so i should have Rapsbian as Linux, it comes from the SD card, 16Go class 10, bought on the Raspberry site, delivered with NOOBS Installer. When i boot on it, it start automatically a Linux, Debian or Rapsbian i guess. But it works fine and automatically.

What i installed after is the soft "skychart" found on source forge https://sourceforge.net/projects/skychart/, i chose the last version called "unstable", plus the libraries https://sourceforge.net/projects/libpasastro/. After installation skychart was able to start, quite long to open, about 5 to 10 mins ! But then i got the sky map with stars and all objects. Then i stopped it and shutdown the Pi3.

But today after reboot, it start correctly, mouse clicks works fine for about 2 /3 mins and then everything freeze.

Same thing happens to me on my Raspberry Pi 3. It used to work good. Last time, before it stopped working, I used it to listen to a radio station using omxplayer. I left it on pause over night and the next day this behaviour happened. I started it then after I clicked a few times I got a complet system freeze. Not even mouse is moving. However I noticed processor activity (procent was moving).
Any ideas what it could be.
Also note that same SD was used in another raspberry pi zero and it works good.

Thanks,

999999 times out of 1000000 any freezing of a RPi3B is due to a lousy power supply or a good power supply with a lousy USB-A to microUSB cable.

I am using 5v 2.5A and the power supply is from store.... Its just all in one
