I've just turned the min fan speed to 0%, after 20 mins the unit freezes, the hard disk temp went up to 55 , quite acceptable, but something else (affected by an increase in heat) inside must be causing the unit to freeze. With the fan set at min 50%, the temp doesn't rise above 42, which...
Big change in temps from last night to today. I have been duel recording and watching movies via the network shares automount but the temp has stayed steady! A good result im assuming!!
I see what you mean. It's weird how it doesn't show the high temps of earlier, to the point where it was uncomfortable to place your hand on top of the unit, and the fan wasn't rotating! . As I said, the fan is running now, maybe that hoovering out of the vent at the back has cleared a lot of...
But bear in mind that those results were after a complete cfw removal, ofw installed, reset to factory defaults and a hard disk format. Before the box was always very hot after it froze, now the fan is running and the box is warm but nothing like what it used to be. Would the results in post...
The box hasn't froze all night, I've set the fan to min speed 50%, I can also confirm that the fan is indeed running and the box no longer feels very hot. The area in which it's situated in is a haven for dust to settle so I hoovered out the alcove and the back of the unit ( at the fan vents as...
Just powered it back up so it's cold just now, will see what temp it is when it freezes. I had done a factory restore and reloaded cfw so I think the readings are all starting from scratch.
Ok, I've switched off the unit just now, will leave it for a few hours to cool down, then reload the cfw and hopefully that will show the temps just before the box switches off.
You might be on to something, I've had a look at the back and can see that the fan isn't running, the unit is definitely very hot underneath so it may be causing it to shut down. There's a new package for viewing info about fan usage I think, might reload the cfw, and see what that says.
I've got content share set to off. I'm formatting the storage just now via menu>>settings>>system>>data storage>>format storage. I've just also reset all values to the factory default. Should I turn off the FTP server?
Arghh! It still happens with the other laptop removed. I've taken off all custom firmware and loaded on official software 1.02.32. I now don't think the laptop could have been the issue as the hd box upstairs works fine with network shares automount. I may try loading on an earlier version of...
I've been testing the box over the weekend, might be a complete coincidence but when I add my wifes laptop to the network shares automount, the box stars locking up as before. The missus has a habit of running every program at once as well as loads of internet tabs maxing out the CPU usage, the...
Just got home to try the box out and its hanging after 20 secs, requiring a switch off at the back. I think i'll remove the custom firmware and reload everything on to see if that works.
Yeah, turned content sharing off, it didn't freeze last night but I only tested it for 15 mins. I'll have a look tonight.
Does anyone know if the fix disk has fixed anything?
