RAM Upgrade Issue

I’ve checked the BIOS version: T201.
I’ve downloaded the T202 BIOS .zip file.
Formatted an empty 16GB USB drive as FAT32 with default allocation size Volume Label: WINPE
Copied the contents into root of the USB drive.
Plug in to my system, F7 to Boot Manager.
Select the USB Drive from the list – nothing happens. Window resolution resizes and reverts back to the Boot Manager list, but doesn’t allow me to enter into the UEFI Shell after selecting this option.

I’ve attached an image showing my USB contents.
If I’m missing a step, please let me know. Followed the PDF instructions to T.
Thank you for your time & assistance in the matter. Image description

Interesting topic, I was convinced that the memory chips were faulty, but here a possible problem with FW. I’m waiting for the result :)

Likewise, not entirely sure why the USB isn’t registering from the Boot Menu. The only thing I can think of is possibly due to the USB being partitioned in MBR. Going to try GPT and give it another shot. If that doesn’t work, I’m stumped.

I’ve entered into the Internal EFI Shell; it doesn’t register any fs commands. It will map devices & other common cmds, but fs<x> blk vol ls cd – no dice. Shows files systems, maps them. Won’t let me enter into them. 🤔

Everything from the .zip contains the necessary contents to boot and is located where it should be.
Must be user error.

After purchasing my computer, I contacted support about updating the BIOS, and received the appropriate *.zip package. Today after work, I will test the above update. The model is different (SER8), but the process seems similar. I will let you know.

iLL Hi there, please delete the file GTI14T202_Winflash, and try it again. Image description

entau Hi if no problem with the RAM issue, no need to update it. It doesn’t indicate it has something to do with C-state stability.

Hi,
For those of us on T201 but maintained 32 or 64GB of RAM, do we need to upgrade to this BIOS? Besides being able to accept 96GB of RAM what other changes are there? Anything to help with C-state stability?

Update:
Switching the USB to GPT partition type fixed the issue preventing me from booting up the FW/BIOS update.

After doing this, the EFI Boot loaded right up after selecting it from the F7 Boot Menu. Updated to T202.

I’ve reinstalled the 96GB Crucial sticks, and so far so good. Windows has booted up as it should, which was not happening before, as it would automatically go to BSOD blue screen error(s).

Currently running MemTest86 to ensure everything is working as God intended. Will post an update after the passes are complete.

Just want to confirm that the flash worked, MemTest was successful and the RAM upgrade is complete.

Thank you all for your time and support.

iLL Glad to hear that. Have a nice day!

@support1 Hello!
I have a beelink eq12pro with 16gb ram, cpu N305
what is the maximum allowed RAM size for this model?

I want to replace the installed 16Gb RAM with this (48Gb):

will this RAM work on my eq12pro and does the bios need to be updated (my bios ver N95V104)?

chrome Hi there,

Sorry, but the item model EQ12 only supports max 16GB RAM.

chrome

support1
but I found the following information in several sites that 32 GB RAM is supported
or are there any limitations or possible unstable operation of eq12pro with RAM over 16GB?

@chrome Hi chrome,

For some brands, the RAM can upgrade to 32GB on EQ12 , but some of them cannot recognize it, that is why we only declare it support 16GB
