1GB Pine64+ freezes/crashes with all installs
#1
Been having the problem of whatever OS I run on the 1GB Pine64+ board constantly crashing when, if my suspicions are correct, high memory usage happens. In particular it will always happen when I browse a "heavy" page. Whether it's with Chrome on the Android 5.1 build, Midori on the Arch Linux build, or the browser in RemixOS, it's always the same problem with the same result - after just a few seconds of loading a heavy-ish page, the screen goes black and the device shuts off, or the screen goes black then usually white (sometimes another random color), device stays powered on, and the SoC (heatsinked with proper 14x14x20mm heatsink) goes very warm as if the CPU or GPU is working on full throttle.

I doubt it's an overheating issue due to the big heatsink, and the memory chips never really get warm at all. I'm starting to think that there's a defect in some "higher location" in one or both of the memory chips on my board, as the problem seems to occur only when memory usage ramps up. Doing nothing demanding in particular the device runs just fine with every OS I tried. My board has the same slightly bent shape that many others have pointed out theirs have.

Anyone experiencing the same? Do I have some kind of warranty on the board I got via backing the project?
