Post Body

So, about 8 months back I bought a beelink SER5 Pro.

Beelink SER5 Pro, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U 8-Core 16-Thread 4.3GHz Processor, 32GB DDR4 RAM 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSD, 4K@144Hz Triple Display (HDMI/Type-C/DP), USB 3.2, BT 5.2

At first, it ran well. Large excel files took a couple seconds more than usual to open. I figured the hard disk wasn't the best. But then, considering the price point I figured I would be able to live with it.

But nowadays, it takes quite a while to open files. Note that my 'large' excel files are at most 10 MB.

Add to that, sometimes the PC will just crash. Not to mention occasional bluetooth disconnections. All of these require restarts.

I opened the task manager and noticed that when these 'large' excel files are being opened, the CPU usage goes to 100%. However, the hard disk usage does not seem to spike alarmingly.

It seems to me that this PC won't make it to 2 years of use. It's surprising given the hardware overkill and my light usage of this PC.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
