Beelink S12 freeze

Polter

Hello,

I have a Beelink S12 Mini mini PC that I use as a Proxmox server (bare-metal installation). For some time now, the system has been completely freezing, especially when updating virtual machines — notably Home Assistant, which is installed as a VM via Proxmox.

Once frozen, the system becomes totally unresponsive: no access via SSH or the Proxmox web interface.

🛠️ System Configuration:

Model: Beelink S12 Mini
CPU: Intel N5095
RAM: 8 GB originally → upgraded to 16 GB for testing (no improvement)
Storage: 256 GB SSD
OS: Proxmox VE (latest available version)

⚠️ Symptoms:

Full system freeze during moderately heavy operations (e.g., VM updates)
Requires a hard reset to reboot
Reboot is not immediate — I often have to wait several minutes before the machine powers on properly again
I also managed to trigger a freeze during a CPU stress test

✅ What I’ve Tried So Far:
Checked Pro

xmox logs (journalctl, dmesg, syslog) → nothing conclusive
RAM tested → no errors
CPU and GPU temperatures are normal
Fully updated Proxmox

❓ Looking for Suggestions:
Has anyone experienced similar issues with this model?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there, please update the kernel to Pve-kernel-6.14

Polter

Tks for your response. Unforutunatly, beelink freeze during the installation. I will retry.

Polter

I upgrade to Pve-kernel-6.14 but same problem. Beelink freeze when update home assistant or esphome device or another action. I think freeze when cpu usage.

And beelink is very difficult to boot. On boot, the fan is very high and nothing else, beelink don’t start. After a pause and many reboot tries, it boot normaly. I active sppedboot like recommendated in another thread.
