      I have watchdog running, so it keeps trying to restart, but I get the same error. Visually, I see several modules load each time, but then it crashes.

            @salbee how did u upgrade? pull, & npm install?

            also need to do npm install in every module folder that has a package.json file

            for future upgrades use the new upgrade script
            see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

            also, how did you do that start after uograde? npm start or use pm2?

            if pm2, there might be something in the logs

            pm2 logs --lines=100

              @sdetweil After much troubleshooting, I’ve narrowed the problem down to only occur when I have screen rotation turned on (in the /boot/config.txt file). Changing the rotation approach to use the custom.css file instead, the problem has gone away.
