I have just acquired two of these, one for my son's school project, one for our mediacentre. Using the KDE appliance, it boots up fine, but as soon as I start setting up the wifi, it crashes. Then I tried usig yast to set date&time - crash.
Are they equipped with _appropriate_ power supplies? RPi3 is said to have higher demands than just an ordinary 5V/2.5A plugger.
Ah, I was not aware. Well, the power supply says 5V/3400mA, it has multiple usb sockets at max 2400/socket, Looking at the power supply supplied by e.g. Conrad, they are also 2500mA.
Some shops sell 3.0 amps minimum, others swear by raising Vout to 5.2V. My assumption is those rascals like to demand sudden current bursts, e.g. when certain peripherials kick in or the CPU gets to do some work.
That is possible, but sofar I'm still installing :-) Also, when I tried with TW a little later, it worked fairly well, at least it didn't crash.
For the media centre you might want to look at libreELEC, for a comparison, just to see whether that runs stable. OTOH it's only 32-bits wide :-P https://libreelec.tv/downloads_new/raspberry-pi-3-3/
