Are you providing separate power to the Topping? Do not try to power this from the Pi's USB ports. If you are supplying a separate power feed from a separate power supply, then this would have no impact on the PI. If you are powering the E30 from the pi, voltage issues would most definitely cause the pi4 to crash. themicksa wrote: > > So I'm wondering if overheating is the issue as I've read that pis (in > this case a 4B) are prone to that.

But there are days when you > wanna party, you know! Pi4's should not crash if they overheat.....they have an internal throttle mechanism for thermal management. You can monitor your pi4 temperature from the pCP interface. Beta Mode/ Extras -> CPU Temp piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
