Late Christmas present from Hyperion Entertainment

Awesome. It's nice to see regular progress made available. Cheers to the development team.

Unfortunately, my system is still extremely crash-happy. I understand it's beta software, so some instability is to be expected, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble? I just hope my board isn't damaged...

@ HyperionMP

Linux is stable, however.

Well, I'm sending the board in for the ethernet/DMA patch in a short while anyway, I'll have them check everything else.

@ Rogue

Some quick research shows that my VCORE is one setting too low (XPC7451RX800RE should be 1.64, mine is at 1.59). However, in the example in the linked article, the VCORE is intentionally set lower than suggested due to heat issues. Would such a small discrepancy cause such problems as I have?

Well, I'll have my dealer give everything a checkup when I send it in. I'll try to get a better cooler installed too - the only thing I've done to improve the system was to replace the thermal pad with thermal compound.

Cheers, and thanks for the help.

@ reflect

It was the Catweasel! I don't believe it! The system has been very stable ever since I took it out. Some programs still crash, but the random lockups are gone.

I'll have the dealer check out the cooler and VCORE. Hopefuily that will solve the few remaining problems.

Thanks for the suggestion!
