Do you see the same thing on the console with different operating systems? I'd be inclined to try NetBSD just because it gives you the boot menu and the boot prompt, which if nothing else, you could stall a while before booting to see if something is indeed overheating or something.
I've already tried NetBSD. I can't remember if it was -current or 9 but I'll try again and pay more attention to the u-boot console over UART. If I remember correctly, it was -current and it referred to a CRC error on the SPI Flash and that I only tried it with one SD card. I'll give it another go and let you know how I go.
Same behaviour on different operating systems however not all of them report the CRC errors with the SPI flash. For example, OpenBSD says nothing at all about it.
UPDATE
I think it's definitely a power issue. Before flashing NetBSD on one of my SD cards, I gave mrfixit's debian desktop image another go but I increased the log level to 5. Various messages relating to voltage regulators, cpus not finding power_model nodes, etc were coming up.
I might just step through the suggestions on this thread (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8971) before flashing more SD cards.
