Wow... that's too hot, I think. It will start thermal throttling before it gets anywhere near that. I never like to see it go above 80C. Not in a consumer box like that anyway. See what you get with that little stress test.

Yes, that's what I thought, and I don't want it zapping the CPU due to insufficient thermal paste, so I will take the cautious approach of just observing if there are any more crashes, and there are none yet which is great.
I doubt it will break it because the chip will underclock itself when it gets too hot... of course the box might crash. From running that test on other N100's I would expect it to go up to around 80C and then sit there stable. If they have got the cooling right, which they probably have. It looks like a better quality build than the cheapest mini pc's. So the thermal paste or heat transfer pad or whatever they've used might well be fine. Anyway, it should certainly cope with that stress test if it's any good.
Lol you tempter...I ran that stress test and it ramped up from 36C to 62C and then after a minute stabilised at about 55C.
Yes I think those are very impressive numbers and so far, touch wood, no more crashes!
Yes I will do, but it was crashing regularly every few minutes previously, so it's looking good so far. Thanks again, will update the thread if it crashes again or mark it solved in a few days.Yeah, I'd use it for few days before concluding for sure you've fixed it. Of course if that was it, then great
Yes that is possible. To be honest I think the first thing I did to eliminate the hangs & crashes was adding that 'nuclear_page' line into /boot/loader.conf, as the system never crashed immediately after that line was added.
I look through options for stuff to tweak with my GPU and normally set that to 1 thinking it might do something interesting

I saw these lines in an above log and it sounded like that option could be related (I saw nuclear mentioned with atomic somewhere a while back):

Haha programmers like to have a bit of fun when naming things!Hmm, nuclear_pageflip is kind of interesting. I think 'nuclear' here is a reference to 'atomic'
Sounds like it may have been enabled by default on this system then, and forcing it to zero got rid of the problem.
Interesting stuff. Update frame buffer in a single vertical blank.
Yes, I could always undo those changes and query the default value, but I'm just happy it works now.
Interesting to know, as I run Debian Linux SID (bleeding edge) on another identical Minix Z100 without any instability, so that makes sense.
