Attract mode shuts down automaticaly on RPi3

[Omamez]

sq video 43 deg is about normal temp, I think its more of glitch

time will tell when I start to play :-) it just reboots its not complete shut down

now I just need to get game and watch and fba on there spent whole weekend installing and downloading sq videos

I don't beleieve I seen any sq videos for game and watch can anyone else confirm

[Omamez]

actually just experienced it now while the rpi3 with robonewbeta was on and just randomly changing games as collage on its own it rebooted me to command prompt 56deg/132f 95 process running

also attached a log

I think  your video resolutions are still too high for the collage screensaver. You could try shutting the collage screensaver off and see if it does it any more. Mine is fine with the 240 res snaps.

I have experienced reboot 2 times today while adding roms and snaps etc just random rpi3 cpu temp 104

Are you getting the rainbow square in the upper right corner of the screen?
Do you have a heatsink?
What resolution are you running at?

I've been running the collage screensaver on my RPI3 all night long without issues.
I'm using the video's the screen scraper of AM downloads also.

Can you post a copy of your config.txt from the boot directory?
If your RPI 3 is overheating it should have configs for throttling down the CPU in the config file.

also, have you updated the firmware on your RPI?

yes heat sink and small fan

config.txt arrached

I noticed last night when I used .avi's instead of the mpg's attract downloads with the scrapper that my rpi3 started to overheat during the collage part of the screensaver.
I'm almost positive it was the memory that was getting hot because it felt warmer than the SOC heatsink.

When I put the mpg's back no more rainbow cube.
mpgs use less compression and therefore less power to decode.

Well,

The only setting that works without crashing is

Only vid files
No overlay
Keep aspect ratio On
No collage

In general, just let the vidfiles play.
The Pi stays at a temp of around 58°C

[Roverius]

Are your vids 240p (SQ) or 480p (HQ) from emumovies?

Vids are 480HQ and 240SQ mixed

also too not all heatsinks dissipate heat as effectively as other something to look at and

other problem is once the heat sink warms up it needs a fan to extract the hot air away or else you back to square one as if you have no heat sink on it.

Nor all pi's are created equal I guess cause I don't need a fan on mine.
Open air is enough really.
I've never owned a phone or tablet with a fan in it.

I've tested the screensaver mode for hours and no crash.
