After experiencing this and hearing the stories of others, I have come to the conclusion that the initial product offering (2016) had an unreliable production line.  I have seen this before with other electronics manufacturers.  Either they get quality under control soon enough or they eventually get abandoned by the market.

My board is heading for the responsibly-recycling center.  Lesson learned.


My initial boards run 24-7-365 since last November !   ... no hits, no runs, no errors;

... I would try a recent image on a good SD card ;  your board will be just fine.

My Pine64 board ran "24-7-365" for 10 months before the first symptoms.  I have re-installed with 3 new cards from 2 different manufacturers (SanDisk, PNY).  I have been using the same power adapter that I use with my Raspberry Pi 2 (CanaKit 5V 2.5A).  Swapped Pine64 and Pi power adapters.  Same Pine64 symptoms appeared (problem did not move).  Both are plugged into the same UPS.  Swapped UPS sockets with Pi.  Same Pine64 symptoms appeared (problem did not move).  It's the board.  It's either a slow-failing lemon or  there was a 2016 assembly-line issue (hopefully fixed).

The Raspberry Pi 2 is on its 3rd year.  Either they have consistently good quality or I had good luck with this particular Pi.  I'd bet on the former.
