      Could you try running your Pi with an other processor intensive task?

      It might be caused by you power supply. Did you try an other one?

          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 :)
