A good Barebones PC for real time LinuxCNC

I had that error when I first started when I was trying to use a old pc with a air cpu cooler that did not have a fan attached. The computer was throttling it self down to prevent the cpu overheating giving me latency issues.

Also what is that GUI that you are using?

I disabled a couple of options more in the bios, and set up the fan at full speed. So far no message, I'll test it some more to make sure the warning stays off.

About the GUI, its Gmoccapy and PlasmaC with a system skin (joy blue), and some custom icons. I plan to redoing all of it, but I need to make sure the hardware works fine first :pinch:

Are you still using the Gigabyte Brix 3150? I have one, but it is also freezing up under Debian 9. Without even starting LinuxCNC, as I am still trying to configure the PC.

That's right, still freezing with Debian 9. I just switched to Linux Mint. Its a considerably longer process to install base Linux Mint and patch it with RTOS, there's a guide on Gnipsel.com

In this way you have to install everything from scratch, including LinuxCNC, but also you can choose which branch of LinuxCNC you would like to use.

This is much shorter and you can also choose between master and 2.8.
There is also a ready made ISO with everything included and ready to run 2.8.

Interesting that we both had freeze problems under Debian but not under mint. A shame, as I prefer the debian interface, and it seems to have less overhead.
