Hi,

I've been having multiple issues with a Topton 8505 mini pc from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005343750142.html crashing and cannot work out how to resolve them. The system is currently running Proxmox but had the same issues running Unraid.
  1. If I plug in the USB cable from a APC UPS the unit will crash within hours
  2. With no USB device plugged in it will crash within a week at most
It has 2 x 16GB Crucial DDR4 (CT16G4SFRA32A) installed and memtest completed 4 passes with zero errors

I have tried resetting the bios and have installed the latest microcode (0x42a, date = 2023-02-14) which seems to have helped as crashes were more frequent before but not resolved the issue. Proxmox is running the latest version with the latest available kernel.

Nothing shows in the syslog when it crashes and I have to power the device off and on again to get it working

Any ideas greatly welcome as when its working its a great little router but the instability makes it nearly unusable

Thanks
