It has been almost a month since I got my Apollo 2 and I still cannot get it to function properly.
I have not been able to get the node to fully sync. I have even started a node on a PC which only took 1 day, then pointed the Futurebit to it on the local LAN. After 3 days I'm only at 76%. The system still locks up a couple of times a day requiring a power cycle.

I have already tried every step that I have found on reddit and other forums.
I have: replaced the microsd and reinstalled the software, reseated the nvme drive, I do NOT run the miner when trying to start the node. I have lost count of how many times I have reformatted the drive and started over, with all the various node commands for memory and re-indexing.

I also tried just running the miner alone for a day on eco mode and the system still freezes up.

At this point I think that there has to be something wrong with the hardware.

Does anyone have any other ideas?
