    I also have this very same issue, also with KP 50 and CSSU testing, but I am not sure what is causing it.
    I do not have any problems with the USB connector, however I secured it using epoxy. But I don't think that is relevant because the problems started to appear a long time after I did that.

    What usually helps is powering off and removing the battery for several seconds, until all capacitors are void of rest-electrons. You may try that. Admittedly it is not convenient since you have to set date/time again on bootup.

    After a crash it is sometimes worse, rebooting several times until it works again.

    When i just bought my N900 (1.5 year ago) i did not notice that if the battery was out for more than 2 seconds, i had to re-set the date and time. So i'm not sure if this is normal or some internal components are broke.
    Anyhow i've tried that. I even did it for 10 hours lol

    Well TBH, it's even stranger than the problem i have now
    I'll make it simple:
    when i connect my phone to my laptop with the added USB-cable it works perfectly. When i unplug that cable from my laptop an plug it into a usb wall charger (notice i have not unplugged on the phone side and it did not even move!) the connector acts like it is broke. The cable that worked perfectly before, had to be bend to get a proper connection.
    That was the simple explenation

    Well, i guess i messed something up in the previous flash. I just re-flashed it now and so far, no problems...

    i guess it's fixed. Thank you everyone and i'm sorry to have stolen your time with this stupid problem

    Having the same problem again but less severe. It just shuts down once and then it works fine.
    I think it has to do something with a program from extras-devel.
    Not sure wich one but i noticed it reapearing after i installed multiple apps from that specific repo.

    I would reflash and then install the apps (from extra-devel) one by one with time inbetween to catch the bugger.
