After my e-mail I changed my Ubuntu kernel from generic to low-latency as I suspected a timing problem and strange enough the crashes are not happening at the moment. But this may well be coincidence as I cold-bootet both the device and the computer several times in the process and removed the power cord for several minutes, so maybe it just cooled down. I will now perform some recordings to see if the issue comes back. > I have heard of one other case in the past few years where a device died > due to overheating. These devices do get somewhat warm.

Thanks for the pointer anyways ;) I will keep a look and see if the error will re-appear.
