vu+ duo going off

[hmusa1]

hi my vu+duo has developed a unusual fault, i can be watching the box for hours then all of a sudden the box dies and it says starting on the front panel and nothing else happens, i have to turn the main power switch off for a bit the start it again and it boots up, it can then work for hours without a problem and do it again, i have unplugged everything from the box and tried it and it does the exact same thing.

have other people experenced this, i have read that capacitor 807 needs changing, it is a 220uf cap, have people tried this

help on this would be appreciated, the box is only two months old, it is a clone v2.0 running bh 1.7.3

What is the memory usage (Blue-Yellow)? It's possible your RAM is overfull.

 

[hmusa1]

total ram in use is 94% just running open tv, and channels, is there anyway i can reduce this useage

 

[hmusa1]

it then goes up to 98% when recording

re-flash the box then make sure you set things like the epg to a usb stick. do you have a HDD your recording to ?.

 

[hmusa1]

i set the epg to hdd, and also record to an hdd, it is internal. what ive noticed aswel dont no if this is normal then when the harddrive is running the measured temp is around 60 to 65 degrees is this normal for these boxes

How would you work out if you're suffering from a memory leak?
