      I know it sounds weird. But can you try an other power source? At least 2A.

        Couple of things:

        • Are you using a proper power supply for the pi? You want something that can provide at least 2Amps.
        • Is the rPi very hot? Do you have it in a sealed box with little air flow?
        • Have you checked the file system itself on the card? One method is to issue a forced check upon a reboot with 'sudo shutdown -F -r now' - After the reboot, look the results in '/var/log/fsck/'. If for some reason that fails when you type it in, you can try adding 'fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes' to /boot/cmdline.txtand reboot the pi. That will force a file system check upon start up and you can watch to see if there are errors.
        • Failing that, you can always move all of your modules onto a different computer (or in the cloud somewhere), rebuild the pi from a fresh image, and try it again, see what happens.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

          okay have been working and testing the Raspberry PI 3
          Reinstalled a few times checked the SD for corruption / and the temp of the system without any problems…
          next I checked the Power supply sometimes seeing a orange box in top left corner when it was stuck.
          With other power supply same problem. after few minutes to a hour is was stuck again

          I finally found the problem not in MM but running ‘memtester 500m 2’ I found there was I Failure in the memory
          After going back to the store and getting a replacement PI the problem are fixed.
          Thanks for the suggestions and maybe this will help some one with the same problems :)
