- Well, I said I'd let you know if anything happened. After setting up home assistant, and getting everything dialed in... my Beelink S12 Pro died the very next day. In this video, I try to get it to boot to no avail... Oh well.

Glad your replacement is working fine... My EQ12 has really impressed me so far, and I'm thinking about picking up one of these today now that they are down to $139 for this model (and $119 for 8GB RAM/256GB SSD).
Do you know the difference between the EQ12 and the S12 Pro? Everything I can see online shows they're exactly the same...
@@tuftexeq12 uses ddr5 ram and has 2.5Gbe ethernet NIC. s12 pro uses ddr4 and 1Gbe.
I own it from September and fortunately no problems. I just reinstalled windows 11 pro from zero, replaced the original 512 GB SSD with a 2 TB one from Crucial (with a heat sink because it gets very hot), removed the SATA enclosure for more space and replaced the 16 GB RAM bank with one, also 16 GB DDR4 3200 (Corsair Vengeance) that I had at home and it was incompatible with a Ryzen miniPC (sometimes it froze, but with this mini s12 pro the compatibility seems to be excellent).. It's been 6 months and so far it's going great..🤞🤞
I'm recomending it to a friend because of the price and performance but now I'm wondering if it is a good product. I read some reviews on Amazon and some pleople are having the same issue.
Change memory ram is the first thing to test. As a computer tech. Memory is always get hot 🔥 and fail
I just go an S12 Pro and it lasted all of about 10 hours of runtime. Just long enough to get things set up. Frustrating to say the least. What the one I had would do is turn on for 1-2 seconds and then shut off over and over. Waiting for a replacement now. Would be one heck of a cheap and decent mini if would last.
Our beelink has been on 2/7 for 2years, only time it's been off is when the power has gone off. Seems some have flunk the month test. Usually if it lasts a week, it'll last a month, if lasts a month, usually good til the owner wants to update.
My reset on my mini pc doesn’t work unless the power jack is in.......Its not getting to the bios
I have the Mini S which looks identical on the inside. It worked for 10 months, not the blue light is always on. did all the same stuff (less the thermal imaging) and doesn't work. Hoping the company makes good on their warranty. I'm not too confident though, their support has been really bad, taking days to weeks to reply to inquiries in the past.
My Mini S is faulty too. See my other comment. That's IF you can see it, as TH-cam are shadow banning me!
The only other thing I would've tried first was swapping out the HDMI/Displayport cable and/or different monitor/monitor port. I've had bad/loose cables and bad monitor ports result in a "no signal" erro even though the computer was booting. Not saying it's your issue, but just soemthing to eliminate early on duing diagnostics.
My beelink PC has been amazing! Sad to see some of them have problems.
never thought this was so common in beelink. I bought 2 mini s12 last 6 months and my one mini pc after 5 days died, luckily though replacement was easy in the store i purchased
A friend bought a SER5 (5600H I think) which started dying after 4 days (loss of color palette during POST, but Windows was fine). She returned it and bought a SER6 Pro which started to falter today (the second day of use). The USB ports were going out.
She's had it with Beelink after investing in 2 computers, 64 gig of RAM for the SER5 and 3TB of NVMEs (none of which she can use).
beelink shipped me an empty envelop
have you tried pressing the reset button while the computer is plugged in and turned on?
My version of this same machine worked fairly well out of the box and the 1235U seemed good and fast, but the whole package seemed to run a bit hot according to thermal monitors I installed and had a noisy fan than revved stressfully almost constantly; RAM use was oddly high on a machine with 32gb RAM. This trivia may or may not have something to do with the SEi12's real behavioral problems, which began with odd acts coming out of sleep. At about month 9 with this machine, if it returned from sleep, the wifi would be off and I would have to restart the network adapter to get it back. Stranger behaviors developed after this: if the machine restarted itself over-night for an update, it might crash to a black screen at some random point during the next day-and rebooting was not simple. Rebooting would involve a 15 minute off-interval (I never understood why, but it was an empirical fact) before it would reboot. Hibernating the machine would result in the same behaviors. Eventually, the machine would not return from hibernate or sleep at all [and not just with USB stimuli, but with the power button]. Yes, scary. My options were to leave the machine on all the time OR fully shut-down the machine. Anything else made the machine prone to black-crash at some random point afterwards. The reason I simply replaced this machine is that its crash-to-black [with unresponsive keyboard, no simple reboot, and a required 15 minute off period] behavior, though rare and hard to link to a specific cause other than "it doesn't like partial shut-downs," became more frequent. Though similar, Beelink-unique problems are often discussed in Beelink forums, [with no fixes that I saw and comments like "I worked in PC repair for 20 years, and this stumps me"], Beelink help confined its advice to suggestions that one could get from a Windows chat-bot, and little more-- like "have you tried updating your graphics drivers?" Uh, yeh. This machine began to crash to black during Zoom or in image editing work--fairly low-demand stuff by current standards. I can't have a machine that leaves me high, dry, and reaching for a back-up laptop during a Zoom classroom that I am leading. Beelink sent me into the waiting arms of Lenovo for a new desktop. Given the percentage of these that fail (see other reviews and forums), I'd say at the least that this machine wasn't built to withstand its own heat stresses, and that the run had serious quality-control issues. Sorry to say it, but avoid these guys.
Well, I did jinx mine, totally dead, no power light nothing. PS reads 12.2 volts. Switched RAM and SSD, dead. Three weeks in, went to power it on one day and nothing. Amazon did refund me so I kind of lucked out on that. Im wondering since it is totally dead if there is a small fuse somewhere inside (wishful thinking)
Just out of curiosity, did you install ram and ssd while it was plugged in? I’ve heard that can kill some of the mini pcs
How is the replacement unit functioning now, one of your comments said you got a new one like 2 weeks ago, any problems? I was considering getting one of these because it was cheaper than most alternatives for such a low wattage yet decently powerful computer. I saw some refurbished tiny computers that were maybe slightly more money and wattage but also more powerful and able to have double the RAM. The only drawback would be being slightly bigger with an older cpu with less modern hardware codec support, and not officially compatible with win11, but it'd still have like h264 and such, just not the latest and greatest, and frankly I don't like what I've heard about win11, which is mostly compaints about the BS hardware requirements to be officially supported and being upset about what the did to the taskbar. I haven't heard /anything/ good being mentioned that sounds like ti's worth it except for the fact they're talking about dropping 10 support in a few years, they're going to be leaving a lot of people hanging when they do.
Replacement unit hasn't had any issues. I use it for Home Assistant; it's on 24/7.
Update?
@@TechDregs still working? :D
Yeah, the replacement has been going 24/7 as a Home Assistant host without issue.
Still working now?
Im trying to setup one of these up for my mom but have run into an issue already too. The monitor is saying its not detecting anything and i know its plugged it. 😢 I will try another monitor and if still nothing ill send hers back too. The shipping took forever already and usually amazon is really fast
I have a Beelink Mini S, with faulty USB ports. Drives connected to the ports malfunction, rendering the Beelink pretty useless! ... Amazon gave me a full refund.
I bought a MinisForum GK-41, and unlike the Beelink, it works great! ... But for how long?
I have the same model. It only boots up if you have any usb thumb drive in it. It could be just a data drive. I am using Windows 11 Pro. Beelink said it was the m.2 SSD. They sent me a new one and the same issue.
This worked for me. After restarting numerous times and getting nothing. Resetting cmos, removing hd, removing nvme, unplugging, long press buttons, many variations of above… plugged in usb drive and it worked right away. Didn’t even boot off of the drive… just having it in there. Crazy.
I have the Beelink UH9 model & haven't had any issues for about 2-3 yrs.
Might be your display port HDMI 🤔
just installed a windows 11 update on my ser7 and now it won't boot into windows after the restart 😢. just gets stuck in a cycle with the beelink logo on screen and the message 'preparing automatic repair'
Hmm, you said that the replacement has been working well, did you check the new one if it had the same brand RAM/SSD or was it actually namebrand this time. Wondering if that might be a potential point of failure.
It's bee a while now, so honestly, I don't remember. I think I checked, and I think it was the same unbranded stuff, but I wouldn't put any money on the accuracy of that memory. I'd look at it now, except it's running my Home Assistant, and I don't want to bring that system down.
Does this runs well on clip studio paint? I recently bought this and worried it might brick after long hours of working
I have no experience with that software, but IMO, with these Beelinks it kind of seems you get a good one or a bad one. Good ones are great. Bad ones might die pretty quickly.
SO are you going to do another review of the warranty replacement after you have run it for a while?
Probably not. The first review covered pretty much everything I had to say, functionally. I think if you get one that works, it's a great little mini-PC. The replacement hasn't had any issues yet.
How’d you get your replacement?
I had actually just ordered this model for the same purpose when I saw this. Luckily just in time to cancel the order. I notice among the comments that some swear by their beelinks, some had a similar experience but it does seem that QC is an issue so I thank you for this info. I think I'll go with a more reputable brand.
What monitor are you using. How is the monitor powered?
It was a Huion tablet powered by USB.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a chance of buying it for $145(16G/500G), but read some alarming comments on a forum, and this just confirms my suspicions.
Even though there are people saying they have beelink products that are working fine, I wouldn't put my trust in this thing, I'd rather spend more money for something rock-solid.
I was looking at one of these or similar, thought, ah, beelink is fairly well known. Then i thought, yeah, its the best known of all the cheap chinese sellers. Doesn't make their products necessarily any better.
Same here, my Beelink died after 7 months of use. Replaced the ram module but nothing happens, it doesn´t boot.
I think a key distinction here is "after seven months"--this suggests something that begins to fail gradually due to heat stresses and/ or quality control issues. Mine worked too earlier on but began to get progressively crazier (see full comment above) after about the same interval (6-9 months). I jumped off of it to another desktop before it sank completely.
Try this. My unit was shutting the video output/shutting down after some idle time and was crashing on a light cpu/gpu load. After disassembly I found the thermal paste was crusty as hell (a symptom of it overheating) so i replaced it with some noctua NT-H1. The idle temperature went from 60 celsius to 39 but the Mini S still crashed on benchmark tests and after some time. The definite fix was to reaplly a good thermal paste and install a better fan instead of the CPU 1 pwm fan wich is very badly designed. The Mini S will turn on without the pwm fan connected so I fancied an external usb relay to a 12v fan that keeps the unit at 33 celsius even on workloads. TLDR. Bad thermal design fix is to replace thermal compound and cpu fan.
I had the same problem today. No image after changing boot order in BIOS.
I've also tried a few things without success.
Now the box is working again. I have about 30 seconds! pressed the "Clear CMOS" button.
I hope this helps some people here.
I power off for two weeks and started up today: it's working! (I disconnected batery of CMOS before).
You should do a follow up video because you replace this. This happens sometimes I bought a Dell laptop three years ago that lasted three days. I didn’t do a video about it because it was replaced by the manufacturer.
I don't have much else to say about it really. The first video covered my thoughts on the PC itself.
is it still running for you?@@TechDregs
The replacement is still going.
Doesn't sound like they do a burn in after manufacture. It is probably a great idea to do a stress test and leave it on for a month when you get one of those. Infant mortality is common with electronic components. Even more so when they are exposed to thermal stress. (I sold computer components for 20+ years and also worked for several computer builders back in the 90s.)
Both my Beelink MINI S N5095 and my Beelink U59 Pro have the same exact problems like yours. Sadly they died after 6 months of using so no replacement for me.
isn't the warranty for 1 yr?
In my case my Beelink M2 SSD became defective after about a year of use. I replaced the SSD just now and it works perfect again. The way I troubleshooted this was to boot windows using a WIN-PE USB thumb drive without the SSD connected. It wasn't randomly shutting off anymore - hence the SSD!
Thanks, I cancelled my order before thy ship it, unfortunately a few people talking about this issue, most of them are receiving the PC for free In return for advertising
My mini pc was sent to me for reveiw. I reviewed it then took it to bits because I needed an SSD for my wii. So it was useful in as much as I got a free SSD LOL. Yours looks a bit more upmarket than mine was, yours seems to actually have a memory stick.
Hmm... You played with the bios cpu power and fried that cpu?
No, I didn't change any settings.
i have issues with wifi cards on beelinks only way i got mine to work was usb wifi
I have two of them. Both with AMD 5600H cpu. One of them is running 24/7 and hasnt given an issue ever (over 10 months).
Note: I replaced memory and SSD after receiving it.
Probably cleaning RAM stick Pins with soft cloth to see if that worked
Bought S12 mini N95 over 3 months ago no problems.
Upgraded to Crucial 16 GB 3200 RAM just because (came with 8GB/256GB $140 +tax amazon)
Thinking sad M.2 NVME upgrade ...
How's you S12 N95 now?
I would bet the ram stick went kaput and gave up the ghost. Even having a slower speed single stick of same type ram to use for troubleshooting can be useful sometimes.
Bad ram is the most likely culprit.
Waiting for another to test this, but same problem here, Bet it was the RAM! I clean it, bios comes, but after, same problem: no video.
@@JackMiliIf you are getting bios display or beelink boot logo, it’s posting and ram is likely fine. Do you have a usb drive you can make bootable and try to boot from it? Yours may be the nvme drive. It looks like this company AZW is now manufacturing their own ram and nvme drives and they don’t seem great quality. I just bought a Trigkey G4 N100 unit which seems exact same as the beelink s12 pro. It also has azw branded ram and ssd. Now I wait for them to die apparently. 🤦♂️ No worries I’ll get good ones and put them in there if and when they do.
@@OkieOrganix I get BIOS once or twice, but it reboots when you enter.
@@JackMili The shutting off is a known issue of inadequate thermal paste on the CPU.
Not mine. I have 3. All 3 are good. You got a lemon.
When did you buy your mini PC?
@@damianperez7736 Perhaps about 5 months ago. I have one set up fixed as one of my secondary computers, a second one I literally pack up and plug in to my work computers in the ER since I have more freedom to see patients and do my own stuff with VPN, and 3rd one was a gift and recipient states it's working excellently. What's your experience? So far no performance issues but if I were to buy another computer that size, I'd get something faster (though no complaints at all about speed).
I would say about 6 to 8 months ago. I use one everyday I work in the Emergency Room as a doc. I literally plug in the monitors HDMI cables to the little PC and have a good time there and ever after. Used it just yesterday for a 24H shift w/o issues.
@@damianperez7736
Is there any other way to get video out of it besides the HDMI port? Could you try to hook up to it over ethernet? It's possible the display output is dead but the PC is booting
No, that's actually how I first noticed it was dead... it stopped showing up on the network.
@@TechDregs known issue of inadequate thermal paste on the CPU.
RAM problem?
My EQ12 started crashing in 6 hours and started dying progressively after that. Trying to fix it too, but I'll probably have to RMA it as well
After about half a year mine started taking hours to boot, and then it stopped booting entirely. The only temporary fix I found was to unplug it for a few minutes and then turn it back on. Tried replacing CMOS battery that was at 2.27v, but did not work.
The shutting off is a known issue of inadequate thermal paste on the CPU.
I repasted it and yes the thermal paste was dried up and crumbly. However, that was not the issue. The issue was hardware related.
So, you have a PC that's drawing power and spinning up the cooling fan, but not outputting anything to your monitor. The first thing I would check is whether it was on the monitor side or the PC side. I have a similar if not the same model of Huion tablet. It's finicky. I'd hook that thing up to a known good monitor with a known good cable and see if it outputs anything, and check the second HDMI port if the first doesn't work. At this point, you'll know if it's the actually the PC that has a problem. After that, not having a spare stick of RAM on hand, there's very little left to do other than what you did, reset the CMOS and try removing and replacing the CMOS battery.
Yeah, the display is good. I've used it on three other systems without issue.
mine also scrap press the power button nothing hold in the reset button try again it flashes once and its dead
The shutting off is a known issue of inadequate thermal paste on the CPU.
@@KingfishStevens-di9ji Yep I can vouch for that and a shit fan. I replaced the thermal paste and put in a b igger fan and voila problem solved.
It's frustrating that thae have decent specs but cheap out on termals. Wont buy another beelink again.
mine was switching on and off intermittent, now completely dead. great, not going to buy again for sure. have to find a way now to get my contents off the M2 drive
It there a set of pads on the PCB that could be a serial port? You may see POST or other diagnostics messages on that port.
Didn't see anything, but I didn't look too close. It's going back to Amazon; they are sending a new one. If that one doesn't last, I'm just doing a refund. I love the idea of this, but I may have to look for something with higher quality.
@@TechDregs Does it have temperature sensors? If you are logging the machine's stats to another server in realtime and you see it getting hot before it dies then that is a pretty clear indicator of what the problem may be.
There may be some data in the SSD that I can look at when the new one comes in. I had Home Assistant recording some data on the CPU usage. But other than that, it won't even post now.
Doesn't clearing the CMOS with that button require the system to have power?
Beelink says to unhook everything when clearing cmos. But I've tried both ways my pc still dead
@@markmcmillan7861 Well if there is an fault which can't be fixed by that, obviously clearing won't help. What's wrong with it?
@TrusteftTech I turn it on the light comes on my TV screen turns black but nothing ever comes up
@TrusteftTech I tried the reset cleaning my ram chips I don't know what else to try. If you could help me that would be wonderful
@@markmcmillan7861Try the usual, remove all RAM modules including the SSD and see if you get it to boot that way. If the system actually boots but you can't see picture, make sure to check another cable to connect to the TV, or of course if the TV works in that input port with another device.
Curious - was this an Intel or AMD model?
Intel n100.
Here one like this died, same results. Waiting for RAM for test this. Bet it was the RAM module! I clean it, bios comes, but after, same problem: no video.
Today I receive another unit. I will swap RAMs to see if it is indeed the RAM module.
Turns out that neither the RAM or the M2.ssd were the problem: I switched them (the old ones) in the new and everething works fine. The M2.ssd and the RAM from the new one have taken no effect on the beelink that show no video.
@@JackMilithanks for the feedback how is the new one going?
@@Annoye the new it's working Just fine. No trouble at all. And the older one works, if you leave ot Aline for some days it posts the BIOS screen... Will see with some eletronic service, VRM perhaps?
I lost my password to my beelink g55. What should I do ?
Just reconnect the SSD/M.2 drive to another computer, start it and in reboot hit f8 until it asks something, selec the attached drive...all data is there if you remember the PIN.
@@iam5085 thank you
thanks for sharing this
Any update on the RMA?
I just did a replacement unit via Amazon. No problems with that one, so far.
@@TechDregs So all good after, 2 months now ?
any update on the replacement?
The replacement has had zero issues.
Did you get your money back?
Went through Amazon, so I just took a replacement unit. So far, that one has worked.
@@TechDregs So often we buy a product, sing it praises in a review, only to have the product turn bad early on.
Yup. That's why I made sure to link this in the description of the other... don't want people to only get part of the story.
My guess is that it had something to do with your home assistant. Maybe it was incompatible with the mini pc, and shorted out something in your pc. I have had my Beelink now for over a month, and have had zero problems (thus far).
Mine died right out of the box. Wish I had done my proper research prior to purchasing.
Try swapping the RAM
Si les ocurre eso, prueben en solo cambiar de hdmi cuando esta encendido.
My Mini S SSD lasted about 1 year and then died. Another sad story....
I bought a SER6 MAX and died on the first day 😢
I have another beelink model but simillar pcb layout. Don't even get a light or fan. Nothing. Dead. Reset cmos, replaced power supply, disconnected cmos battery. Nothing. It's a good business, because you won't get a replacement from beelink. If you're within Amazon's return policy, you get Amazon. More than that but within a year (beelink's warranty), you will never see a replacement from China.
After reading the comments here, I'm glad I didn't commit to buying after having it in the cart for a week
ME TOO. I have to replace my Intel NUC immediately and I have been following Beelink for a year to be ready to switch. I have this in my amazon cart and my finger on the BUY button. What to do now? A year ago, i thought these were sketchy AF and now it seems to be confirmed. I cant afford the only NUC available in US which would come out to about $1000. Im screwed. What else to buy then?
Ok guys just spent a day troubleshooting and repairing a Mini S i had on a tactile screen for a year. The unit was shutting the video output/shutting down after some idle time and was crashing on a light cpu/gpu load.

Lucky you it died so quickly.
My Beelink SER5 died one month after the warranty expired. They refused to fix it unless I send it to China and back, they refused to sell me spare parts. Terrible customer support
have same king gk55 uhd 600 driver problem.
My 30 watt OC Mini S still puffing along as a replacement media server. That's P1 set to 30 watts for 1 year plus, no issue. I cloned cheap pcie SSD to make any window 11 rollbacks easy, but never used, so far, still running on clone. As a media server, the Intel has far better audio support with my legacy HDMI Denon where ANY of my AMD audio codecs fail.
Dont wanna jinx mine... I bought a Beelink N95 a week ago, have not shut it off yet and runs like a champ. Longevity, well, I'll post here in a few weeks.
Update?
@@mohitprasher5093 He posted another entry... it died :D (5 days before I posted this)
It died?
Ooh thank you, just had to reset the cmos
I have had this kind of pc a lot. The cmos battery died 100%, if that happens the pc doesn't boot anymore. You need to renew the Cmos battery. Plus if you shut down the PC by disconnecting the powersupply, the board is draining the cmos battery empty (it draines as long as you don't boot again). i don't know why but thats my expierence with these mini pcs. You need to shut down in windows or by pressing the button. Otherwise the battery is dead within a week or so.
I wasted 4 cmos battery's wihtin 2 months or so until i figured out the real issue.
Have you tried replacing RAM module?
Nah, didn't have spare RAM laying around. I've already sent it back and the replacement has been working for a couple of days now.
For a mini computer that lasts only four days, it's a disappointment. I'd rather save up and get the Beelink SER5 5500U instead. Or maybe better.
My concern would be that that's still the same company. But, there aren't many "better" options out there. You could get a NUC from Intel, but AMD options are sparse.
@@TechDregs I have the beelink 5500u and I picked this because It has way more power and ram and storage than I need and then I added a fan to make sure it stays cool , I paid $500 because im in Canada and we get ripped all the time on things we buy,
ive had it for 3 months now and it's hooked to the 55'' tv as my only setup I use it for movies sites and youtube and I do my emails and weather with it, This is the only computer I use, I do have a tablet but it's just for killing time
So I turn this Beelink on at 7am and it stays on till about 8pm,
I have seen others talking about the problems and they all seem to be using the cheaper options
I think the smaller ram and older n5105 set up works to hard and that's why the cheaper ones burn out,
Id like to know how your refund worked out but then again your only a few days in where im 3 months so fare
Hope all works out for you
I received a Mini S (11th edition) from Amazon yesterday. IT HAD ALREADY BEEN USED with the OS passworded... and in FRENCH... by someone named Marc. NO MANUAL came with it. Resetting the CMOS through the little hole didn't help... I got into the BIOS once... and then never again. The machine wouldn't even turn on.
Why do companies go through all the effort to make JUNK when EXCELLENCE is within reach?
It's on it's way back to Amazon. I sure hope someone bothers to try it before they ship it out to the next sucker who "buys" it.
Sorry! I promise not to do it again! 🤣
Meiner läuft schon zwei Wochen hardcore...
Maybe there is no OS installed...
I'm joining the Beelink Mini S 12 pro dead club! yay.. 6 months of fine operation now completely dead no power. PS 12v ok. Looks like a waste of time to trouble shoot further. Keep away! Cheers.
I got a Mini-S-12-Pro with the N100 cpu two months ago.......love it. You musta pissed off the God Of Computation or some shit.
Is it still working? I'm thinking of buying one but don't want it to break within a month
Haha yeah is it still working? Mine died today same model. 6 months of fine operation.
Maybe touching the components (chips) with your fingers (while not being grounded I guess) wasn't a great idea.
ESD didn't make it die 4 days later, friend. If you fry something with ESD, it will be dead immediately.
@@TechDregs ESD doesn't always cause instant death of the component. ESD can lead to failure even a long time after. So touching such components (especially the chips) when you're not grounded or have discharged yourself before is not the best idea in general.
sma.nasa.gov/docs/default-source/News-Documents/nasa-parts_bltn_2016no1--r1-170314.pdf?sfvrsn=4
Ok man, if you want to believe ESD was the cause, feel free. :-)
Most of the problems with ESD are long term, but that does not seem like a likely cause.
that looked like RAM isue
get the ryzen version.. intel machines hav been dying recently, from pc to laptop to mini.. been mining on my beelink 5800h for almost a month now, still works fine as day1..
so far is great already 8 month.
В инструкции написано 19v 6.32A, а продавец положил 19v 3.42A. Проверяйте блок питания.
Its looking like if a person buys any Beelink, be prepared to backup your files every 10 minutes. How sad.
Because as we all know it is completely impossible to open it and put the ssd in another computer or an external adapter. No way at all to recover data, the only way is ultra frequent backups!

Had a Beelink MINI S up until few days ago when it just started acting the same as in this video (EXACTLY the same!) - mine held for two years. wont be buying beelink again
Step 1, reseat the memory. You never did that (on camera). My SER5 is running fine.
That's what I would've tried.
