Build done, but random reboots and screen freezes
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2019 3:24 pm
I'm hoping someone here could help point me in the right direction for investigating an operating problem with my GBZ.
It will boot up fine and operate great, then will randomly reboot. I also get the occasional screen freeze, sometimes in the middle of the game or initiating the shutdown procedure. This has happened both on straight battery (fully charged) and plugged into the 5v 3.0A charger. My power supply is the generic banggood version.
Is there a command I can use that would allow be to diagnose what could be causing the issues? I disassembled the GBZ today, made sure areas were isolated either with a small dab of hot glue on wires or some electrical tape on board surfaces.
I'm just not enough of an expert in linux to know where to start. My thoughts are that something must be shorting out and causing the raspberry pi to reboot...?
Links with lots of pictures of my build are here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
