SER8 (R7 8745HS) Freezing / DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION 0x133

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a frustrating issue I’ve been dealing with on my Beelink SER8 and see if I’m the only one experiencing this. Starting yesterday, my mini PC began freezing completely. The symptoms were very specific: It would freeze right on the Beelink boot logo If I managed to get into Windows, it would freeze about 20 seconds after login. Weirdest part: The mouse cursor would still move smoothly, but the entire Windows interface was completely frozen and unclickable. After about 20 seconds of hang, it would crash with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (0×133) BSOD. I initially thought my internal NVMe SSD was dying or had a loose connection, but after some troubleshooting (and realizing it was a classic storage I/O hang), I traced it back to the recent AMD Chipset Drivers update - Version 8.05.04.516. I managed to completely uninstall this specific chipset driver package, and the system immediately became stable again. I’m going to do a clean reinstall of Windows 11 tomorrow just to be completely safe and wipe any corrupted leftover files. Has anyone else run into this issue with the 8.05.04.516 driver version? I also made a post on reddit and other people are having the same issue, pls beelink team fix the issue. EDIT: I just did a fresh win11 install without installing AMD adrenaline software and the chipset drivers and the pc is working fine, so i guess the culprit is really the chipset drivers

Hello,
I have a Beelink SER8 8845HS currently running BIOS version .15. I am trying to update to BIOS .16 because the PC is experiencing freezes and DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION crashes.

I prepared the USB drive as instructed and booted into the EFI Shell. flash.nsh runs and executes the expected command with the /P /B /N … parameters. The USB drive is correctly detected, and I also tried using a rear USB port as recommended.

However, after launching flash.nsh, nothing visible happens and the BIOS is not updated. echo %lasterror% returns 0×0.

Could you please advise why the flash completes with no error but does not update the BIOS, and provide the correct procedure or files for my exact SER8 8845HS model?

Thank you.

Hello there,

Could you please send us a picture of SN code(two lines) at the bottom of machine and a picture of purchase invoice?

Please repeatedly press delete key as soon as you turn on the PC, go to BIOS. Please send us a picture of the Main page, we will check if you need to update the BIOS and send you the correct BIOS file and tutorial.

May I ask if the BIOS file you downloaded is placed in the root directory of the USB drive?

Have a nice day~
