Hello Tobias,

Thanks so much for answering. I doubt the culprit is the power supply. It is the Raspberry Pi original one and have been working fine for months. Now with 1.50 works just fine. Now it is arm_boost=1 in config.txt working fine. I will return it to arm_boost=0 in order to not stress the pi too much during compilations.

I am tempted to return back to v1.51 to see and verify if I can reproduce the bad behaviour again.

Regards.
