Allso i run Openelec on Asrock Ion 3D and i must say it runs pretty hot to, it does not freez but if left idle the menu starts to lagg and i have to reboot it. So maybe its not the linux but XBMC, but im not an expert.

I have also noticed that if I leave a video on pause the box doesn't freeze. J1nx seemed to think it was something to do with network library shares, and if you just use addons and don't define any library sources then it doesn't lock up. I never confirmed this. I think the devs are well aware of this issue and Corey has intimated that the next release will hopefully address the random lockups. It really is the one issue that stops MX Linux from being perfect on the ATV1200.

The only way round it I can think of is if you manage to mount another directory on top of the /usr/share/splash folder - I am not even sure that is possible with MX Linux. Alternatively you can ask someone here to do a custom build for you.

So the question is, is there something running in the background not easy to see that is causing the cpu to continue working hard, rather than ticking over idle?? As that would of course almost certainly cause this overheating problem that likely causes the occasional crashes As I say this is only a theory, so AuxBox, or anyone else here in the know, can I ask whether you have you any ideas if this indeed could be the case ? If it is so then maybe it is an easy fix.

I have been running the first post version "Version 1. XDA Developers Gotham Build" flashed with this file "MX_LINUX-G02REF-update-28-06-14.zip" for quite some time. I'd like to update to the latest linux build from the first page (build 13-11-14).
Can I flash this directly overtop of my existing mx linux or should I go back to geniatech firmware first and then go to the newest mx linux build?

Only been doing this for 3 or 4 days but so far so good.

And also interested to know when we are likely to see Linux builds released and compiled for the new generation of quad core Geniatech produced boxes now being pushed with the latest Android OS bloat-ware??
