Replaced 2 with a PI 3B and I now need to reboot often

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation
1

I just plugged in the new 3B and it appears after so many hours, three Pi displays in my home display random values. I do a nightly Chron reboot. But I now appear to need several a day. The Pi 2B never had this issue. Unless a patch or something is affecting my install

Thanks. Any and all ideas welcomed.

Why do you need to reboot? Out of memory?
Where does the new raspi display random numbers?

Yes, I have two displays in proximity and the NTP time vales stop matching. All 3 Pi 2 display units seem to freeze with different values in Habpanel.

That smells like SD card failure to me…

The Pi 3 is using an USB Adapter with a Crucial 500 GB SSD drive. Possibly. Used it for a couple of years now on a Banana Pi install and now on the Pi 3. However, this seems to have started after swapping out the Pi2 with a 3.

On second thought, I might have over looked the most common Pi issue. Power supply. Swapped out for a true 2.5 amp supply and waiting to see what happens.

Nope not it at all. Replaced the Pi 3B+ with my old 3B. See what happens.
