Hi All
I wonder if anybody here can help me. I have googled and googled to death but getting nowhere.
I purchased my chromebox refurbished (As new) and to be fair it appeared new. Installed Openelec and got kodi going everything running perfect no issues.
Few days later i notice the box would suddenly restart and then sometimes just turn itself off. This happened frequently in a short period at one point but then stopped.
I couldnt pin it down what was causing it but noticed that if i left the box running overnight nothing would happen. so it was only when navigating about, installing add ons , loading videos etc etc but no pattern.
I hoped it would be software issue so i reset it back to factory and then re-installed openelec in a dual boot setup. Same again - worked fine for awhile and then started doing it again. Oddly for last 2 days its been running fine with no shutdowns or restarts. I turned the box off today before work - since tunrirng it back on its doing it again like before.
Has anybody heard or run into anything like this before?
Does this sound like a hardware issue ? Any pointers or ideas would really help as i need to decide whether to contact the seller and try and get a refund.
Thanks in advance all!!
