Pi Turns off. Especially during heavy tasks?

Wed Feb 20, 2013 1:56 am

Ok so i posted previously thinking that this problem was related to my monitor but upon closer inspection I realized that it relates to my pi. Basically I can use it for awhile but then sometimes randomly, sometimes during a high preformance task (i.e. I run a python program I am writing) the pi will completley shut off. Now the weird thing here is that everything i have connected is powered externally. Usb hub, monitor, etc. The only thing drawing power directly from the pi is the pi itself. It may not make a difference but the pi is actually not plugged directly into the wall but into a wall socket (hub? extender?). Anyway I certainly cant figure it out and was hoping one of you could. Thank you!

more likely the PSU your using is not stable (needs to be able to do 750ma, i had issues untill i used an 1A PSU)
