Blog2013 ≫ My XBMC Raspberry Pi stopped working

It's been running a bit slow recently, so not really sure what to do I reinstalled the openelec OS. Didn't help, it's still having issues so I think it must be the SD card. Thinking about it, this is possibly the old sd card that I discarded once before when it corrupted. I started using it again on my second pi because the sd card that came with that one was also duff. Am I just unlucky or is it normal to have basically two failed cards out of three within about a year? Got another card on order now. Not a micro sd, nor a cheap one from China, but how can I be sure I have not just paid over the odds for a card that someone else imported in bulk? We'll see... I think I just bought another one of these 1.

Time for bed now. number two son is making a lot of noise up there though...
