Problem: Not starting after reboot
#5
I'm agreeing with Tim, I've had many SBCs over the years and those symptoms are usually due to a bad SD card or power supply undervoltage. Other possibilities could be too many open file handles (which is unlikely to ever happen with Moode as it doesn't produce that many files on the SD card filesystems) or overzealous overclocking (in which case return back to stock config).

Your SMSL M100 apparently draws about 300mA from the USB port and the Pi3 without any attached USB or GPIO devices draws 400mA at full load so power supply requirements shouldn't need anything special in your case. The recommended power supply for Raspberry Pi is 5V 2.5A, but a PSU capable of 1A or more should be OK for your Pi3 with just the SMSL connected.

The thing with SD cards when they start to go bad is that they almost always appear to be fine until a read operation is attempted on a bad cell then the card just hangs, causing the system to eventually hang under the weight of unresponsive IO requests. You can reformat a bad card and continue to use but the symptoms will continue and get more frequent, the only solution is to replace the card.

You could try performing a full read of the card by logging into the Pi via ssh and running;
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/null

.. if this completes without errors and the OS doesn't hang then i'd guess your SD card is probably OK.
