So I am using Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#l ... skyscraper) to try and scrape all the info for my games. Every now and then while doing the actual scraping or consistently when generating the games list, my CM3 would either completely freeze, give me a kernel panic type thing (https://i.imgur.com/xVZi5dJ.jpg), or the screen would slowly turn white and then it would reset itself.
I tried to pull logs from "/var/log/syslog" and "/var/log/messages" but they don't appear to be there from what I can tell.
Any guidance would be appreciated!

Update: Finally got the error to come up in my terminal where I can copy it: https://pastebin.com/SjnKsF7j
And I pulled the logs even though I thought the folder didn't exist...

Re: CS keeps rebooting or goes to a non working state when trying to scrape files.
A bit of googling seems to indicate perhaps a fault with the CM3 RAM/Memory IC. Could you for the moment try downclocking the memory slightly with this in the config.txt:
sdram_freq=400
And then it might be worth sending me an email with your address and I'll send out a replacement CM3
My source is from here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2481 which is about the 3B+, but seems similar

Downclocking the ram is making it freeze a lot more. Even just transferring files over SFTP is freezing and making the fan constantly run. I'll get with you on Discord to see about obtaining a replacement. Thanks!

Is it only when transferring things over wifi? There is some kind of known issue with transferring things over wifi.. using SCP (winSCP) is usually my preferred way to try.
