Chalk another one up to a bad power supply!

I had been running a Raspi B happily using a generic 5v power supply until I recently added a USB 3G modem. I then started to get a series of problems (modem would stop working, Raspi would freeze or crash) until I replaced the power supply with one that came with a Raspi 3. It’s been running for 3 days constantly with no problems. Just thought this may help others thinking “it can’t be the power supply”!

Many thanks for sharing. One interesting point would be if you ever saw the lightning symbol (top right corner) when any of the issues happen?

I was actually running the raspi headless for a non-OSMC project but I thought it was so relevant to many of the problems reported on the OSMC forums I would share it here. :slight_smile:

No worries, and yes this is good information for everyone
