My PI is too cool. It freezes. I have playing with a PI Zero W over the last weeks. At first everything worked as expected. But now it developed some strange "hangings" I cannot explain. It kinda randomly freezes in time for a few minutes every now and then. Sometimes it takes several minutes to ssh into it. Sometimes, the terminal just freezes for several minutes. Neither top nor iostat seem to show any elevated act…

Have you tried replacing the SD card with a fresh one with a fresh install and checking if this still occurs? I've had a somewhat similar problem and it turned out to be a dying SD card.

Notice that it has the only temperature curve where the temperature does not go back to baseline after the stress test. It needs a lot longer to get to equilibrium, and the final temperature is almost certainly hotter than what's shown on the graph.

I had a similar problem. For me the reason was that I used a cheap charger with too less power.
The flirc case is a giant heat capacitor, not a heat sink. Notice that it has the only temperature curve where the temperature does not go back to baseline after the stress test.

My Pis are always out of the way and in a shelf somewhere, untouched until I make modifications to the setup, in which case the case is often coming off anyway.

Why do people use cases on a Pi? I’ve never ever used a case. My Pis are always out of the way and in a shelf somewhere, untouched until I make modifications to the setup, in which case the case is often coming off anyway.
