Not had a problem either (except that once, which was probably my fault).

 

May have to play about and see if it is the CPU speed or the Core Voltage that is the true key to the problem.

 

I only did the force_turbo=1

The optimum core voltage has a slightly complicated relationship with the clock speed.

Ultimately, I want to use the least amount of power for a reliable connection.

It is a very good fix all the same.

I was following the scientific principle of make one change at a time.  Make 2 changes and you won't know which one did what.

 

If it did not work I would then have tried the over_voltage=2

Gives me something to work to tomorrow.

Just wondering, has this been successful for you guys? I rebuilt one of my Pi Zero cameras from scratch the other day and forgot this fix. It ran for a couple of hours then hung. Added this setting and it's been running fine.

Yes my Pi Music box seems to run for weeks on end without needing a re boot.  What does still upset it is losing it's internet connection when streaming, if that happens too many times it just seems to lose the ability to re start streaming.  But that is much better now we no longer use a lousy ADSL internet connection that was the best available when we got it, but frankly it was always a lousy unreliable service delivered over a copper cable network in such poor state is was a wonder it could actually handle a voice call.
