I bought some panels from amazon
[Amazon P3 panel](https://www.amazon.co.uk/color-module-resolution-contrast-indoor/dp/B06ZYYDK3B/ref=asc_df_B06ZYYDK3B/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309964075885&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16956129882379863993&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045837&hvtargid=pla-682938095427&psc=1)
Also got an Adafruit bonnet and followed their installation instructions to the letter. When I launch the demo 0, the screen works fine for about 2 seconds after which the pi crashes. It seems to shut down as I get the 10 green flashes on the pi green LED.
I then tried the whole lot on a Pi B+ I had kicking around and it all worked fine. I did try slowing down the GPIO on the pi 4 but no change and crash after a few seconds. I also have a meaty 8A 5V power supply so no issues there.
Just wondered if anyone else had same problem and if so any ideas on remedy?!

I have not seen this with Pi4. which I use in my projects.
Have you tried sending power to the Pi4 via USB-C for debugging purposes while you do this?
