If it doesn't happen while you're in the main menu for 10 minutes, then it might be something overheating.
Is the fan spinning or might it be clogged with dust?

In a rare situation, the connection between the APU (that is the CPU and GPU in 1 package) might have come loose.
When you use if for a while, the APU heats up and disconnects some datalines from the motherboard.
Did you already try to adding washers to the clamp that holds down the APU?


A good repairshop can fix these kinds of issues if the trick with the clamp doesn't work but it might not be cheap.

thanks for the reply..will try adding a few washers to the clamp and see if that works.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.

    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length

    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it

    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
