Sometimes, one or two a day, my vero 4k freezes and does not respond either via remote control or via the web interface or via ssh or any installed app (smb - transmission from the app store). Nothing appears in the logs, the light of the hard disk 3TB fed separately remains locked and turned on, the only solution is to remove the current. What could be the problem? Thank you.
Do you power the 3TB Drive through USB from the Vero4K? Make sure the DIsk has its own power supply.
What I would do, is log into the Vero remotely using ssh, apply all updates on the command line with:
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
This to make sure that all updates are applied correctly.
I had a vero behave strangely due to a bad PSU. Sam has replaced it, and every was Ok.
My symptoms were sudden reboots and freezes, not reproductible…
Just tried, i’ve installed as new yesterday from sd with the last version available, didn’t modified anything from ssh and’ve installed smb and transmission from the app store. The hd has its own power supply… How can i test the psu?
Actually, only way it will work is if you have another Vero with a Power-Supply you could use.
Alternatively, check the polarity and the voltage of the current PSU and check if you don’t have another one to test with.
Check also if the “dmesg” command shows anything unusual. Best is to upload the logs…
If not - I’m afraid @sam_nazarko will need to send you a new one.
It is not normal that this device is unstable. Mine’s rock solid here.
Tnx bro! Today i’ll try…
I suggest that you upload the logs. Sounds like it might be the PSU.
My Vero 4K is rock solid. I have two Sundtek USB tuners and two 1TB HDDs connected via powered USB hubs. After one week running 24/7, it’s super-fast,
and super-stable.
Can i have the specs of the power plug? I’m gonna look for something like it
Are you using the Vero on a power extension cord? If so,try plugging it directly into a wall outlet - many users have had problems with both Vero and Raspberry Pi devices when using poor quality extension leads.
Plugged directly into but nothing has changed, it is locked now that I’m away from home
Update: can It be a problem due to the overhead of the USB port? I do not know how to explain it, it seems to happen when there are more than five torrent download with download speed to about 1.4 MB/s
@sam_nazarko I need your opinion
Well, it would be easy enough to find out, stop your torrents for a day and see if the problem goes away 
I copied 2 files, total size about 45GB from my laptop to the Vero 4K, while watching a movie and had no freezes or audio/video problems at all.
On a Pi2, the above test would have been problematic
I’d need to see some logs.
Try unplugging the drive or using a different one for a while: sometimes a bad disk can cause a panic.
This is the gparted’s log for the connected HD

========================================
Any logs from vero 4k, how can i do?
And now

dmesg | paste-log - http://paste.osmc.io/xupilegufo
Can we keep this in one thread please? Otherwise it gets very confusing
