Raspberry pi 5 becomes unaccessible (self.raspberry_pi)

Earlier today I had an issue where my pi couldn't be ssh'd into and the hdmi port was outputting nothing. I powered it off with the power button and it rebooted into emergency mode (I assume the sd card corrupted?). I reformatted the sd card and it was fine. However, it has just happened again. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

No important data is on the SD card, only an external drive attached to the pi. I have had to turn the pi off to take the data off of the drive.

If it happens again and you're curious you could mount the root partition of the sd card and look at the logs and try to fix the issue

What power supply are you using?

[–] arudesalad 2 points 3 weeks ago

The official one that came with the pi. It is plugged into a power bar but that hasn't ever been a problem, I've had it since december 2023

I used to get corrupted SD cards all the time when running Pis 24/7 (remote, outdoor, in an enclosure) so I finally switched to the white industrial SD cards and haven't had an issue since, so maybe that's worth a shot. I only use regular SD cards for temporary testing now.

(Edit: the ones I use are SanDisk industrial for reference)

Worthwhile to check temperatures and see if the PI is shutting off after overheating.

Possibly a short in that button. I had one of those, it kept doing that.
