My bitaxe keeps freezing at around 3.4 GH/s. I reset it and it works again, but every few days it seems to be freezing again. I attached the readings while frozen... I was wondering if maybe I should just flash it with the new firmware again... or, what should I do?

Temps all look fine. How exactly did you reset it? There's a reset button of course, but in my experience unplugging and plugging back in gives a better reset. This is a long shot but it could also be caused by a loose part somewhere, such as the heat sink. Based on temp readings I'd say your heat sink is fine, but you could check the screws just in case. Wish I had better suggestions.

@magicmike42 Thanks, I'll try that! I had just been using the reset button.

Unless your firmware is outdated, flashing it again probably won't make any difference. I would start by slightly increasing the core voltage and let us know how that goes.

Is the display of the miner still showing the mining stats (SSID, IP, Hashrate, etc)? If so, it might just be the web page that's freezing.
